A difference between 'struct utmp' and 'struct utmpx' is that
the former uses UT_LINESIZE for the size of its array members,
while the latter doesn't have a standard variable to get its
size. Therefore, we need to get the number of elements in
the array with NITEMS().

utmpx is specified by POSIX as an XSI extension. That's more portable
than utmp, which is unavailable for example in musl libc. The manual
page specifies that in Linux (but it probably means in glibc), utmp and
utmpx (and the functions that use them) are identical, so this commit
shouldn't affect glibc systems.
Assume utmpx is always present.
Also, if utmpx is present, POSIX guarantees that some members exist:
- ut_user
- ut_id
- ut_line
- ut_pid
- ut_type
- ut_tv
So, rely on them unconditionally.

If (maxsize == -1), then ((size_t)maxsize == SIZE_MAX). And no size can
ever be >= SIZE_MAX, so it will never return false if sysconf(3) reports
an unlimited user-name size via returning -1. Well, to be pedantic,
that disallows a user-name siz of precisely SIZE_MAX bytes when
sysconf(3) returns -1. However, that's probably a good thing; such a
long user name might trigger Undefined Behavior somewhere else, so be
cautious and disallow it. I hope nobody will be using the entire
address space for a user name.
The commit that introduced that check missed that this code had always
supported unlimited user-name sizes since it was introduced by Iker in
3b7cc05387 ("lib: replace `USER_NAME_MAX_LENGTH` macro"), and
6be85b0baf ("lib/chkname.c: Use tmp variable to avoid a -Wsign-compare
warning") even clarified this in the commit message.
So, while the code in 6a1f45d932 ("lib/chkname.c: Support unlimited
user name lengths") wasn't bad per se, the commit message was incorrect.
What that patch did was adding code for handling EINVAL (or any other
errors that a future kernel might add).
To be more pedantically correct, that commit also allowed (under certain
circumstances, user names of SIZE_MAX bytes, but those were originally
allowed (by accident), and only became disallowed in 403a2e3771
("lib/chkname.c: Take NUL byte into account"). But again, let's
disallow those, just to be cautious.

Before 3b7cc05387 ("lib: replace `USER_NAME_MAX_LENGTH` macro"), this
code did use a length. It used a utmp(5) fixed-width buffer, so the
length matches the buffer size (there was no terminating NUL byte).
However, sysconf(_SC_LOGIN_NAME_MAX) returns a buffer size that accounts
for the terminating null byte; see sysconf(3). Thus, the commit that
introduced the call to sysconf(3), should have taken that detail into
account.
403a2e3771 ("lib/chkname.c: Take NUL byte into account"), by Tobias,
caught that bug in <lib/chkname.c>, but missed that the same commit that
introduced that bug, introduced the same bug in two other places.
This fixes all remaining calls to sysconf(_SC_LOGIN_NAME_MAX).
I still observe some suspicious code after this fix:
if (do_rlogin(hostname, username, max_size - 1, term, sizeof(term)))

So, get_date() gets the number of seconds since the Epoch. I wonder how
that thing works, but I'll assume it's something similar to getdate(3)

These functions (e.g., gr_free()), explicitly dereference the pointer
and read the pointee.
The /@out@/ comment, which is (almost) analogous to the
[[gnu::access(write_only, ...)]] attribute, means that the pointee can
be uninitialized, since it won't read it. There's a difference between
/@out@/ and the GCC attribute: the attribute doesn't require that the
call writes to the pointee, while /@out@/ requires that the pointee be
fully initialized after the call, so it _must_ write to it.
A guess of why it was used is that these functions are similar to
free(3), which does not read the memory it frees, and so one would
assume that if it doesn't read, write_only (or equivalents) are good.
That's wrong in several ways:
- free(3) does not read _nor_ write to the memory, so it would
be slightly inappropriate to use write_only with it. It wouldn't be
"wrong", but [[gnu::access(none, ...)]] would be more appropriate.
- Because /@out@/ requires that the call writes to the pointee, it
would be wrong to use it in free(3), which doesn't write to the
pointee.
- Our functions are similar to free(3) conceptually, but they don't
behave like free(3), since they do read the memory (pointee) (and
also write to it), and thus they're actually read_write.

These functions are like [v]snprintf(3), but return -1 on truncation,
which makes it easier to test. In fact, the API of swprintf(3), which
was invented later than snprintf(3), and is the wide-character version
of it, is identical to this snprintf_().
snprintf(3) is iseful in two cases:
- We don't care if the output is truncated. snprintf(3) is fine for
those, and the return value can be ignored. But snprintf_() is also
fine for those.
- Truncation is bad. In that case, it's as bad as a hard error (-1)
from snprintf, so merging both problems into the same error code
makes it easier to handle errors. Return the length if no truncation
so that we can use it if necessary.
Not returning the whole length before truncation makes a better API,
which need not read the entire input, so it's less vulnerable to DoS
attacks when a malicious user controls the input.
Use these functions to implement SNPRINTF().

- It calculates the size of the destination buffer, and makes sure it's
an array (otherwise, using sizeof(s) would be very bad).
- It calculates if there's truncation or an error, returning -1 if so.
BTW, this macro doesn't have any issues of double evaluation, because
sizeof() doesn't evaluate its argument (unless it's a VLA, but then the
static_assert(3) within NITEMS() makes sure VLAs are not allowed).

the size of the entire buffer to properly terminate it. Passing the

In the implementation of ZUSTR2STP(), we want SIZEOF_ARRAY() within the

strftime(3) makes no guarantees about the contents of the buffer if the
formatted string wouldn't fit in the buffer. It simply returns 0, and
it's the programmer's responsibility to do the right thing after that.
Let's write the string "future" if there's an error, similar to what we
do with gmtime(3)'s errors.
Also, `buf[size - 1] = '\0';` didn't make sense. If the copy fits,
strftime(3) guarantees to terminate with NUL. If it doesn't, the entire
contents of buf are undefined, so adding a NUL at the end of the buffer
would be dangerous: the string could contain anything, such as
"gimme root access now". Remove that, now that we set the string to
"future", as with gmtime(3) errors. This setting to '\0' comes from the
times when we used strncpy(3) in the implementation, and should have
been removed when I changed it to use strlcpy(3); however, I didn't
check we didn't need it anymore.

There's been a very long and interesting discussion in linux-man@ and
libc-alpha@, where we've discussed all the string-copying functions,
their pros and cons, when should each be used and avoided, etc.
Paul Eggert pointed out an important problem of strlcpy(3): it is
vulnerable to DoS attacks if an attacker controls the length of the
source string. And even if it doesn't control it, the function is dead
slow (because its API forces it to calculate strlen(src)).
We've agreed that the general solution for a truncating string-copying
function is to write a wrapper over strnlen(3)+memcpy(3), which is
limited to strnlen(src, sizeof(dst)). This is not vulnerable to DoS,
and is very fast for all buffer sizes. string_copying(7) has been
updated to reflect this, and provides a reference implementation for
this wrapper function.
This strtcpy(3) (t for truncation) wrapper happens to have the same API
that our strlcpy_() function had, so replace it with the better
implementation. We don't need to update callers nor tests, since the
API is the same.
A future commit will rename STRLCPY() to STRTCPY(), and replace
remaining calls to strlcpy(3) by calls to this strtcpy(3).

- Truncation is bad. In that case, we just want to signal truncation,

It was blessed by POSIX.1-2001, and GCC says that it won't go away,
possibly ever.
memset(3) is dangerous, as the 2nd and 3rd arguments can be accidentally
swapped --who remembers what's the order of the 2nd and 3rd parameters
to memset(3) without checking the manual page or some code that uses
it?--. Some recent compilers may be able to catch that via some
warnings, but those are not infalible. And even if compiler warnings
could always catch that, the time lost in fixing or checking the docs is
lost for no clear gain. Having a sane API that is unambiguous is the
Right Thing (tm); and that API is bzero(3).
If someone doesn't believe memset(3) is error-prone, please read the
book "Unix Network Programming", Volume 1, 3rd Edition by Stevens, et
al., Section 1.2. See a stackoverflow reference in the link below[1].
bzero(3) had a bad fame in the bad old days, because some ancient
systems (I'm talking of many decades ago) shipped a broken version of
bzero(3). We can assume that all systems in which current shadow utils
can be built, have a working version of bzero(3) --if not, please fix
your broken system; don't blame the programmer--.
One reason that some use today to avoid bzero(3) in favor of memset(3)
is that memset(3) is more often used; but that's a circular reasoning.
Even if bzero(3) wasn't supported by the system, it would need to be
invented. It's the right API.
Another reason that some argue is that POSIX.1-2008 removed the
specification of bzero(3). That's not a problem, because GCC will
probably support it forever, and even if it didn't, we can redefine it
like we do with memzero(). bzero(3) is just a one-liner wrapper around
memset(3).

These calls were intending to copy from a NUL-padded (possibly
non-NUL-terminated) character sequences contained in fixed-width arrays,
into a string, where extra padding is superfluous. Use the appropriate
call, which removes the superfluous work. That reduces the chance of
confusing maintainers about the intention of the code.
While at it, use the appropriate third parameter, which is the size of
the source buffer, and not the one of the destination buffer. As a side
effect, this reduces the use of '-1', which itself reduces the chance of
off-by-one bugs.
Also, since using sizeof() on an array is dangerous, use SIZEOF_ARRAY().

There's no standard function that copies from a null-padded character
sequence into a string.
A few standard functions can be workarounded to do that:
- strncat(3): This function is designed to catenate from a null-padded
character sequence into a string. The catch is that there's no
*cpy() equivalent of it --strncpy(3) is not at all related to
strncat(3); don't be fooled by the confusing name--, so one would
need to zero the first byte before the call to strncat(3). It also
has the inconvenient that it returns a useless value.
- strncpy(3): This function is designed to copy from a string to a
null-padded character sequence; the opposite of what we want to do.
If one passes the size of src instead of the size of dst, and then
manually zeroes the last byte of the dst buffer, something similar
to what we want happens. However, this does more than what we want:
it also padds with NUL the remaining bytes after the terminating NUL.
That extra work can confuse maintainers to believe that it's
necessary. That is exactly what happens in logout.c.
src/logoutd.c-46- /*
src/logoutd.c-47- * ut_user may not have the terminating NUL.
src/logoutd.c-48- */
src/logoutd.c:49: strncpy (user, ut->ut_user, sizeof (ut->ut_user));
src/logoutd.c-50- user[sizeof (ut->ut_user)] = '\0';
In that logout.c case --and in most invocations of strncpy(3), which
is usually a wrong tool-- the extra work is not wanted, so it's
preferrable to use the right tool, a function that does exactly
what's needed and nothing more than that. That tool is zustr2stp().

functions.

Documentation:
- Correct the comment documenting the function:
write_full() doesn't write "up to" count bytes (which is write(2)'s
behavior, and exactly what this function is designed to avoid), but
rather exactly count bytes (on success).
- While fixing the documentation, take the time to add a man-page-like
comment as in other APIs. Especially, since we'll have to document
a few other changes from this patch, such as the modified return
values.
- Partial writes are still possible on error. It's the caller's
responsibility to handle that possibility.
API:
- In write(2), it's useful to know how many bytes were transferred,
since it can have short writes. In this API, since it either writes
it all or fails, that value is useless, and callers only want to know
if it succeeded or not. Thus, just return 0 or -1.
Implementation:
- Use `== -1` instead of `< 0` to check for write(2) syscall errors.
This is wisdom from Michael Kerrisk. This convention is useful
because it more explicitly tells maintainers that the only value
which can lead to that path is -1. Otherwise, a maintainer of the
code might be confused to think that other negative values are
possible. Keep it simple.
- The path under `if (res == 0)` was unreachable, since the loop
condition `while (count > 0)` precludes that possibility. Remove the
dead code.
- Use a temporary variable of type `const char *` to avoid a cast.
- Rename `res`, which just holds the result from write(2), to `w`,
which more clearly shows that it's just a very-short-lived variable
(by it's one-letter name), and also relates itself more to write(2).
I find it more readable.
- Move the definition of `w` to the top of the function. Now that the
function is significantly shorter, the lifetime of the variable is
clearer, and I find it more readable this way.
Use:
- Also use `== -1` to check errors.

Using the --sha-rounds option without first giving a crypt method via the --crypt-method option results in comparisons with a NULL pointer and thus make chgpasswd segfault:
$ chgpasswd -s 1

Current patch add a sanity check before these comparisons to ensure there is a defined encryption method.
How to trigger this password leak?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When gpasswd(1) asks for the new password, it asks twice (as is usual
for confirming the new password). Each of those 2 password prompts
uses agetpass() to get the password. If the second agetpass() fails,
the first password, which has been copied into the 'static' buffer
'pass' via STRFCPY(), wasn't being zeroed.
agetpass() is defined in <./libmisc/agetpass.c> (around line 91), and
can fail for any of the following reasons:
- malloc(3) or readpassphrase(3) failure.
These are going to be difficult to trigger. Maybe getting the system
to the limits of memory utilization at that exact point, so that the
next malloc(3) gets ENOMEM, and possibly even the OOM is triggered.
About readpassphrase(3), ENFILE and EINTR seem the only plausible
ones, and EINTR probably requires privilege or being the same user;
but I wouldn't discard ENFILE so easily, if a process starts opening
files.
- The password is longer than PASS_MAX.
The is plausible with physical access. However, at that point, a
keylogger will be a much simpler attack.
And, the attacker must be able to know when the second password is being
introduced, which is not going to be easy.
How to read the password after the leak?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Provoking the leak yourself at the right point by entering a very long
password is easy, and inspecting the process stack at that point should
be doable. Try to find some consistent patterns.
Then, search for those patterns in free memory, right after the victim
leaks their password.
Once you get the leak, a program should read all the free memory
searching for patterns that gpasswd(1) leaves nearby the leaked
password.

How to fix it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
memzero(), which internally calls explicit_bzero(3), or whatever
alternative the system provides with a slightly different name, will
make sure that the buffer is zeroed in memory, and optimizations are not
allowed to impede this zeroing.
This is not really 100% effective, since compilers may place copies of
the string somewhere hidden in the stack. Those copies won't get zeroed
by explicit_bzero(3). However, that's arguably a compiler bug, since
compilers should make everything possible to avoid optimizing strings
that are later passed to explicit_bzero(3). But we all know that
sometimes it's impossible to have perfect knowledge in the compiler, so
this is plausible. Nevertheless, there's nothing we can do against such
issues, except minimizing the time such passwords are stored in plain
text.
Security concerns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We believe this isn't easy to exploit. Nevertheless, and since the fix
is trivial, this fix should probably be applied soon, and backported to
all supported distributions, to prevent someone else having more
imagination than us to find a way.
Affected versions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All. Bug introduced in shadow 19990709. That's the second commit in
the git history.

If we consider simple objects as arrays of size 1, we can considerably
simplify these APIs, merging the *ARRAY and the non-array variants.
That will produce more readable code, since lines will be shorter (by
not having ARRAY in the macro names, as all macros will consistently
handle arrays), and the allocated size will be also more explicit.
The syntax will now be of the form:
p = MALLOC(42, foo_t); // allocate 42 elements of type foo_t.
p = MALLOC(1, bar_t); // allocate 1 element of type foo_t.
The _array() allocation functions should _never_ be called directly, and
instead these macros should be used.
The non-array functions (e.g., malloc(3)) still have their place, but
are limited to allocating structures with flexible array members. For
any other uses, the macros should be used.
Thus, we don't use any array or ARRAY variants in any code any more, and
they are only used as implementation details of these macros.

This is no real world security fix.
The overflow could occur if too many layered subsystems are encountered
because the function check_perms calls itself recursively.
It would already take a misconfigured system for this to achieve it.
Use an iterative approach by calling the do_check_perms in a loop
instead of calling itself recursively.
As a side note: At least GCC 13 optimized this code and already uses
a jmp in its assembler code. I could only see the stack overflow by
activating address sanitizer which prevented the optimization.

Parsing optional environment variables after a login name is a feature
which is neither documented nor available in util-linux or busybox
login which are other wide spread login utilities used in Linux
distributions as reference.
Removing this feature resolves two issues:
- A memory leak exists if variables without an equal sign are used,
because set_env creates copies on its own. This could lead to OOM
situations in privileged part of login or may lead to heap spraying.
- Environment variables are not reset between login attempts. This
could lead to additional environment variables set for a user who
never intended to do so.
Proof of Concept on a system with shadow login without PAM and
util-linux agetty:
1. Provoke an invalid login, e.g. user `noone` and password `invalid`.
This starts shadow login and subsequent inputs are passed through
the function login_prompt.
2. Provoke an invalid login with environment variables, e.g.
user `noone HISTFILE=/tmp/owo` and password `invalid`.
3. Log in correctly with user `root`.
Now you can see with `echo $HISTFILE` that `/tmp/owo` has been set for
the root user.
This requires a malicious failed login attempt and a successful login
within the configured login timeout (default 60 seconds).

Add the relevant XKCD to the passwd(1) manual page. It already explains
most of the rationale behind this patch.
Add also reference to makepasswd(1), which is a good way to generate
strong passwords. Personally, I commonly run `makepasswd --chars 64` to
create my passwords, or 32 for passwords I need to type interactively
often.
The strength of a password is an exponential formula, where the base is
the size of the character set, and the exponent is the length of the
password. That already shows why long passwords of just lowercase
letters are better than short Pa$sw0rdZ3. But an even more important
point is that humans, when forced to use symbols in a password, are more
likely to do trivial substitutions on simple passwords, which doesn't
increase strength, and can instead give a false sense of strength, which
is dangerous.

getline(3) is much more readable than manually looping. It has some
overhead due to the allocation of a buffer, but that shouldn't be a
problem here. If that was a problem, we could reuse the buffer (thus
making the function non-reentrant), but I don't think that's worth the
extra complexity.
Using rpmatch(3) instead of a simple y/n test provides i18n to the
response checking. We have a fall-back minimalistic implementation for
systems that lack this function (e.g., musl libc).
While we're at it, apply some other minor improvements to this file:
- Remove comment saying which files use this function. That's likely
to get outdated. And anyway, it's just a grep(1) away, so it doesn't
really add any value.
- Remove unnecessary casts to (void) that were used to verbosely ignore
errors from stdio calls. They add clutter without really adding much
value to the code (or I don't see it).
- Remove comments from the function body. They make the function less
readable. Instead, centralize the description of the function into a
man-page-like comment before the function definition. This keeps the
function body short and sweet.
- Add '#include <stdbool.h>', which was missing.
- Minor whitespace style changes (it doesn't hurt the diff at this
point, since most of the affected lines were already touched by other
changes, so I applied my preferred style :).

If make fails in a multi-process invocation, the log is pretty much
unreadable. To make it readable, build as much as can be built without
failing. Then run a single-process make again. If we succeeded
previously, this should be a no-op. If not, this run will stop at the
first error, which should be more readable, and will only print the few
lines we're interested in.
This has some side effects: Now we build as much as we can, instead of
failing as early as possible; this may make CI a bit slower. However,
it also has the benefit that you see _all_ the error messages that could
be given, instead of needing to fix the first error to see the next and

This commit will serve to document why we shouldn't worry about the
truncation in the call to strlcpy(3). Since we have one more byte in
tmptty than in full_tty, truncation will produce a string that is at
least one byte longer than full_tty. Such a string could never compare
equal, so we're actually handling the truncation in a clever way. Maybe
too clever, but that's why I'm documenting it here.
Now, about the simplification itself:
Since we made sure that both full_tty and tmptty are null-terminated, we
can call strcmp(3) instead of strncmp(3). We can also simplify the
return logic avoiding one branch.

write_mapping() will do the following:
openat(proc_dir_fd, map_file, O_WRONLY);
An attacker could create a directory containing a symlink named
"uid_map" pointing to any file owned by root, and thus allow him to
overwrite any root-owned file.
Closes#635
newuidmap and newgidmap currently take an integner pid as
the first argument, determining the process id on which to
act. Accept also "fd:N", where N must be an open file
descriptor to the /proc/pid directory for the process to
act upon. This way, if you
exec 10</proc/99
newuidmap fd:10 100000 0 65536
and pid 99 dies and a new process happens to take pid 99 before
newuidmap happens to do its work, then since newuidmap will use
openat() using fd 10, it won't change the mapping for the new
process.

instead of a mix of sizeof(type) sometimes and sizeof(*p) other
times.
- More readable code: no casts, and no sizeof(), so also shorter lines
that we don't need to cut.
- Consistency in using array allocation calls for allocations of arrays
of objects, even when the object size is 1.

This macros have several benefits over the standard functions:
- The type of the allocated object (not the pointer) is specified as an
argument, which improves readability:
- It is directly obvious what is the type of the object just by
reading the macro call.
- It allows grepping for all allocations of a given type.
This is admittedly similar to using sizeof() to get the size of the
object, but we'll see why this is better.
- In the case of reallocation macros, an extra check is performed to
make sure that the previous pointer was compatible with the allocated
type, which can avoid some mistakes.
- The cast is performed automatically, with a pointer type derived from
the type of the object. This is the best point of this macro, since
it does an automatic cast, where there's no chance of typos.
Usually, programmers have to decide whether to cast or not the result
of malloc(3). Casts usually hide warnings, so are to be avoided.
However, these functions already return a void *, so a cast doesn't
really add much danger. Moreover, a cast can even add warnings in
this exceptional case, if the type of the cast is different than the
type of the assigned pointer. Performing a manual cast is still not
perfect, since there are chances that a mistake will be done, and
even ignoring accidents, they clutter code, hurting readability.
And now we have a cast that is synced with sizeof.
- Whenever the type of the object changes, since we perform an explicit
cast to the old type, there will be a warning due to type mismatch in
the assignment, so we'll be able to see all lines that are affected
by such a change. This is especially important, since changing the
type of a variable and missing to update an allocation call far away
from the declaration is easy, and the consequences can be quite bad.

Instead, I added an extra byte to the allocation to allow a maximum
password length of PASS_MAX (which is the maximum for getpass(3), which
we're replacing.
While doing that, I notice that my previous implementation also had
another bug (minor): The maximum password length was PASS_MAX - 1
instead of PASS_MAX. That's also fixed in this commit.

Some programs don't support `(uint16_t) -1` or `(uint32_t) -1` as user
or group IDs. This is because `-1` is used as an error code or as an
unspecified ID, e.g. in `chown(2)` parameters, and in the past, `gid_t`
and `uid_t` have changed width. For legacy reasons, those values have
been kept reserved in programs today (for example systemd does this; see
the documentation in the link below).
This should not be confused with catching overflow in the ID values,
since that is already caught by our ERANGE checks. This is about not
using reserved values that have been reserved for legacy reasons.

When trying to build shadow in a different directory I stumbled upon few
issues, this commit aims to fix all of them:
- The `subid.h` file is generated and hence in the build directory and
not in the source directory, so use `$(builddir)` instead of
`$(srcdir)`.
- Using `$<` instead of filenames utilises autotools to locate the files
in either the source or build directory automatically.
- `xsltproc` needs to access the files in login.defs.d in either the
source directory or the symlink in a language subdirectory, but it
does not interpret the `--path` as prefix of the entity path, but
rather a path under which to locate the basename of the entity
from the XML file. So specify the whole path to login.defs.d.
- The above point could be used to make the symlinks of login.defs.d
and entity path specifications in the XMLs obsolete, but I trying
not to propose possibly disrupting patches, so for the sake of
simplicity just specify `$(srcdir)` when creating the symlink.

The intention of the code is just to not report an error message when
'typefile' doesn't exist. If we call access(2) and then fopen(2),
there's a race. It's not a huge problem, and the worst thing that can
happen is reporting an error when the file has been removed after
access(2). It's not a problem, but we can fix the race and at the same
time clarify the intention of not warning about ENOENT and also remove
one syscall. Seems like a win-win.

In variadic functions we still do the cast. In POSIX, it's not

However, since ISO C still doesn't mandate that, and moreover they're

Also, C++ requires that NULL is _not_ 'void *', but either plain 0 or

1. Compile shadow's su with address sanitizer and --without-libpam

3. Prepare /etc/tzname to contain a '\0' byte at the beginning
`python -c "print('\x00')" > /etc/tzname`

Use a different algorithm to minimize rejection. This is essentially
the same algorithm implemented in the Linux kernel for
__get_random_u32_below(), but written in a more readable way, and
avoiding microopimizations that make it less readable.
Which (the Linux kernel implementation) is itself based on Daniel
Lemire's algorithm from "Fast Random Integer Generation in an Interval",
linked below. However, I couldn't really understand that paper very
much, so I had to reconstruct the proofs from scratch, just from what I
could understand from the Linux kernel implementation source code.
I constructed some graphical explanation of how it works, and why it
is optimal, because I needed to visualize it to understand it. It is
published in the GitHub pull request linked below.
Here goes a wordy explanation of why this algorithm based on
multiplication is better optimized than my original implementation based
on masking.
masking:
It discards the extra bits of entropy that are not necessary for
this operation. This works as if dividing the entire space of
possible csrand() values into smaller spaces of a size that is
a smaller power of 2. Each of those smaller spaces has a
rejection band, so we get as many rejection bands as spaces
there are. For smaller values of 'n', the size of each
rejection band is smaller, but having more rejection bands
compensates for this, and results in the same inefficiency as
for large values of 'n'.
multiplication:
It divides the entire space of possible random numbers in
chunks of size exactly 'n', so that there is only one rejection
band that is the remainder of `2^64 % n`. The worst case is
still similar to the masking algorithm, a rejection band that is
almost half the entire space (n = 2^63 + 1), but for lower
values of 'n', by only having one small rejection band, it is
much faster than the masking algorithm.
This algorithm, however, has one caveat: the implementation
is harder to read, since it relies on several bitwise tricky
operations to perform operations like `2^64 % n`, `mult % 2^64`,
and `mult / 2^64`. And those operations are different depending
on the number of bits of the maximum possible random number
generated by the function. This means that while this algorithm
could also be applied to get uniform random numbers in the range
[0, n-1] quickly from a function like rand(3), which only
produces 31 bits of (non-CS) random numbers, it would need to be
implemented differently. However, that's not a concern for us,
it's just a note so that nobody picks this code and expects it
to just work with rand(3) (which BTW I tried for testing it, and
got a bit confused until I realized this).
Finally, here's some light testing of this implementation, just to know
that I didn't goof it. I pasted this function into a standalone
program, and run it many times to find if it has any bias (I tested also
to see how many iterations it performs, and it's also almost always 1,
but that test is big enough to not paste it here).
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("%lu\n", csrand_uniform(atoi(argv[1])));
}
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 1 | wc -l
341
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 1 | wc -l
339
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 1 | wc -l

331
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 0 | wc -l
327
This isn't a complete test for a cryptographically-secure random number
generator, of course, but I leave that for interested parties.

This API is similar to arc4random_uniform(3). However, for an input of
0, this function is equivalent to csrand(), while arc4random_uniform(0)
returns 0.
This function will be used to reimplement csrand_interval() as a wrapper
around this one.
The current implementation of csrand_interval() doesn't produce very good
random numbers. It has a bias. And that comes from performing some
unnecessary floating-point calculations that overcomplicate the problem.
Looping until the random number hits within bounds is unbiased, and
truncating unwanted bits makes the overhead of the loop very small.
We could reduce loop overhead even more, by keeping unused bits of the
random number, if the width of the mask is not greater than
ULONG_WIDTH/2, however, that complicates the code considerably, and I
prefer to be a bit slower but have simple code.
BTW, Björn really deserves the copyright for csrand() (previously known
as read_random_bytes()), since he rewrote it almost from scratch last
year, and I kept most of its contents. Since he didn't put himself in
the copyright back then, and BSD-3-Clause doesn't allow me to attribute
derived works, I won't add his name, but if he asks, he should be put in
the copyright too.

gethostbyname(3) was removed in POSIX.1-2008. It has been obsoleted,
and replaced by getaddrinfo(3), which is superior in several ways:
- gethostbyname(3) is not reentrant. There's a GNU extension,
gethostbyname_r(3) which is reentrant, but it's not likely to be
standardized for the following reason. And we don't care too much
about this point either.
- gethostbyname(3) only supports IPv4, but getaddrinfo(3) supports both
IPv4 and IPv6 (and may support other address families in the future).
We don't care about reentrancy, so for keeping the code simple (i.e.,
not touch call site to add code to free(3) an allocated buffer), I added
a static buffer for inet_ntop(3). We could address that in the future,
but I don't think it's worth it.
BTW, we also replace inet_ntoa(3) by inet_ntop(3), as a consequence of
using getaddrinfo(3). inet_ntoa(3) is also marked as deprecated, but
that deprecation seems to have been documented only in the manual page,
and POSIX doesn't mark it as deprecated. The deprecation notice goes
back to when the inet_ntop(3) manual page was added by Sam Varshavchik
to the Linux man-pages in version 1.30 (year 2000).
So, this, apart from updating the code to POSIX.1-2008, is also adding
support for IPv6 :) Although, probably many other parts of the code are
written for IPv4 only, so I wouldn't yet claim support for it.
A few notes:
- I didn't check the return value of inet_ntop(3), since it can't fail
for the given input:
- EAFNOSUPPORT: We only call it with AF_INET and AF_INET6.
- ENOSPC: We calculate the size of the buffer to be wide enough:
MAX(INET_ADDRSTRLEN, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN) so it always fits.

also removes chances of accidents.
- Repurposing strncpy(3) to create strings requires calculating the
location of the terminating null byte, which involves a '-1'
calculation. This is a source of off-by-one bugs. The new code has
no '-1' calculations, so there's almost-zero chance of these bugs.
- strlcpy(3) doesn't padd with null bytes. Padding is relevant when
writing fixed-width buffers to binary files, when interfacing certain
APIs (I believe utmpx requires null padding at lease in some
systems), or when sending them to other processes or through the
network. This is not the case, so padding is effectively ignored.
- strlcpy(3) requires that the input string is really a string;
otherwise it crashes (SIGSEGV). Let's check if the input strings are
really strings:
- lib/fields.c:
- 'cp' was assigned from 'newft', and 'newft' comes from fgets(3).
- lib/gshadow.c:
- strlen(string) is calculated a few lines above.
- libmisc/console.c:
- 'cons' comes from getdef_str, which is a bit cryptic, but seems
to generate strings, I guess.1
- libmisc/date_to_str.c:
- It receives a string literal. :)
- libmisc/utmp.c:
- 'tname' comes from ttyname(3), which returns a string.
- src/su.c:
- 'tmp_name' has been passed to strcmp(3) a few lines above.

On Linux, utmpx and utmp are identical. However, documentation (manual
pages) covers utmp, and just says about utmpx that it's identical to
utmp. It seems that it's preferred to use utmp, at least by reading the
manual pages.
Moreover, we were defaulting to utmp (utmpx had to be explicitly enabled
at configuration time). So, it seems safer to just make it permanent,
which should not affect default builds.

When useradd sends its ADD_USER event, it is filling in the id field. This is not yet written to disk. When auditd sees the event and the log format is enriched, auditd tries to lookup the user name but it does not exist. This causes the event to never be resolvable since ausearch relies on the lookup information attached by auditd.
The fix is to not send the id information for any event until after close_files() is called. Just the acct field is all that is

There are several issues with getpass(3).
Many implementations of it share the same issues that the infamous
gets(3). In glibc it's not so terrible, since it's a wrapper
around getline(3). But it still has an important bug:
If the password is long enough, getline(3) will realloc(3) memory,
and prefixes of the password will be laying around in some
deallocated memory.
See the getpass(3) manual page for more details, and especially
the commit that marked it as deprecated, which links to a long
discussion in the linux-man@ mailing list.
So, readpassphrase(3bsd) is preferrable, which is provided by
libbsd on GNU systems. However, using readpassphrase(3) directly
is a bit verbose, so we can write our own wrapper with a simpler
interface similar to that of getpass(3).
One of the benefits of writing our own interface around
readpassphrase(3) is that we can hide there any checks that should
be done always and which would be error-prone to repeat every
time. For example, check that there was no truncation in the
password.
Also, use malloc(3) to get the buffer, instead of using a global
buffer. We're not using a multithreaded program (and it wouldn't
make sense to do so), but it's nice to know that the visibility of
our passwords is as limited as possible.
erase_pass() is a clean-up function that handles all clean-up
correctly, including zeroing the entire buffer, and then
free(3)ing the memory. By using [[gnu::malloc(erase_pass)]], we
make sure that we don't leak the buffers in any case, since the
compiler will be able to enforce clean up.

SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
[[deprecated]] char *gets(char *s);
DESCRIPTION
Never use this function.
...
BUGS
Never use gets(). Because it is impossible to tell with‐
out knowing the data in advance how many characters
gets() will read, and because gets() will continue to
store characters past the end of the buffer, it is ex‐
tremely dangerous to use. It has been used to break com‐
puter security. Use fgets() instead.

Dangerous Function") at http://cwe.mitre.org/data/defini‐

This tweaks the database locking logic so that failures in the
link-checking paths are more detailed.
The rationale for this is that I've experienced a non-deterministic
bug which seems to be coming from this logic, and I'd like to get
more details about the actual failing condition.
The setuid, setgid, and sticky bits are not copied during copy_tree.
Also start with very restrictive permissions before setting ownerships.
This prevents situations in which users in a group with less permissions
than others could win a race in opening the file before permissions are
removed again.
Proof of concept:
$ echo $HOME
/home/uwu
$ install -o uwu -g fandom -m 604 /dev/null /home/uwu/owo
$ ls -l /home/uwu/owo
-rw----r-- 1 uwu fandom 0 Sep 4 00:00 /home/uwu/owo
If /tmp is on another filesystem, then "usermod -md /tmp/uwu uwu" leads
to this temporary situation:
$ ls -l /tmp/uwu/owo
-rw----r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 4 00:00 /tmp/uwu/owo
This means that between openat and chownat_if_needed a user of group
fandom could open /tmp/uwu/owo and read the content when it is finally
written into the file.
Fixes regression introduced in faeab50e71.
If a directory contains fifos, then openat blocks until the other side
of the fifo is connected as well.
This means that users can prevent "usermod -m" from completing if their
home directories contain at least one fifo.
The groupadd from shadow does not allow upper case group names, the
same is true for the upstream shadow. But distributions like
Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS has their own way to cope with this problem,
this patch is picked up from Fedora [1] to relax the usernames
restrictions to allow the upper case group names, and the relaxation is
POSIX compliant because POSIX indicate that usernames are composed of
characters from the portable filename character set [A-Za-z0-9._-].

The origian code had a branch with WITH_SELINUX ifdef condition. If
one wants to add one more option char with another ifdef condition
like ENABLE_SUBIDS to the spec, the one must enumerate the specs for
all combinations of the conditions:
* WITH_SELINUX && ENABLE_SUBIDS
* WITH_SELINUX && !ENABLE_SUBIDS
* !WITH_SELINUX && ENABLE_SUBIDS
* !WITH_SELINUX && !ENABLE_SUBIDS
With this change, you can append an option char to the spec.

C89 defined isdigit as a function that tests for any decimal-digit
character, defining the decimal digits as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
I don't own a copy of C89 to check, but check in C17:
7.4.1.5
5.2.1
More specifically:
> In both the source and execution basic character sets, the value
> of each character after 0 in the above list of decimal digits
> shall be one greater than the value of the previous.
And since in ascii(7), the character after '9' is ':', it's highly
unlikely that any implementation will ever accept any
_decimal digit_ other than 0..9.
POSIX simply defers to the ISO C standard.
This is exactly what we wanted from ISDIGIT(c), so just use it.
Non-standard implementations might have been slower or considered
other characters as digits in the past, but let's assume
implementations available today conform to ISO C89.

It wasn't being used at all. Let's remove it.
Use isdigit(3) directly in comments that referenced it.
Also, in those comments, remove an outdated reference to the fact
that ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) might evaluate its argument more than once,
which could be true a few commits ago, until
IN_CTYPE_DEFINITION(c) was removed. Previously, the definition
for ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) was:
#if defined (STDC_HEADERS) || (!defined (isascii) && !defined (HAVE_ISASCII))
# define IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(c) 1
#else
# define IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(c) isascii(c)
#endif
#define ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN (c) && isdigit (c))
Which could evaluate 'c' twice on pre-C89 systems (which I hope
don't exist nowadays).

Due to the recent removal of IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(), the uppercase
macros that wrapped these standard calls are now defined to be
equivalent. Therefore, there's no need for the wrappers, and it
is much more readable to use the standard calls directly.
However, hold on with ISDIGIT*(), since it's not so obvious what
to do with it.

The recent removal of STDC_HEADERS made IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN be defined
to 1 unconditionally. Remove the now unnecessary definition, and
propagate its truthness to expressions where it was used.

We're in 2021. C89 is everywhere; in fact, there are many other
assumptions in the code that wouldn't probably hold on
pre-standard C environments. Let's simplify and assume that C89
is available.
The specific assumptions are that:
- <string.h>, and <stdlib.h> are available
- strchr(3), strrchr(3), and strtok(3) are available
- isalpha(3), isspace(3), isdigit(3), and isupper(3) are available
I think we can safely assume we have all of those.
