BTW: I've ripped out a lot of debug code and changed c++ // comments to /* */ as both were rather confusing for a newbie like me. ;-) Sorry to the author for that. I know that this makes mantaining the code easier, but I'm simple minded....

"This patch fixes all the bugs in id previously spotted by vodz and me. The binary size increased a bit, but now it should work as expected."

Hi Erik, Hi to all, This is part five of the my_get*id story. I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible, but this changes will not affect existing code. Now they work so: 1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize) if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL on success username is written on static allocated buffer on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL on success username is returned on failure NULL is returned if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL on success username is returned on failure an error message is printed and the program exits 2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize) if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL on success groupname is returned on failure NULL is returned if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL on success groupname is returned on failure an error message is printed and the program exits This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet. It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length. BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes) with the pending patch in patches/id_groups_alias.patch. The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c. I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough (at least I hope so.......).

Hi, I've spent the half night staring at the devilish my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid functions trying to find out a way to avoid actual and future potential buffer overflow problems without breaking existing code. Finally I've found a not intrusive way to do this that surely doesn't break existing code and fixes a couple of problems too. The attached patch: 1) changes the behaviour of my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid to avoid potetntial buffer overflows 2) fixes all occurences of this function calls in tar.c , id.c , ls.c, whoami.c, logger.c, libbb.h. 3) The behaviour of tar, ls and logger is unchanged. 4) The behavior of ps with somewhat longer usernames messing up output is fixed. 5) The only bigger change was the increasing of size of the buffers in id.c to avoid false negatives (unknown user: xxxxxx) with usernames longer than 8 chars. The value i used ( 32 chars ) was taken from the tar header ( see gname and uname). Maybe this buffers can be reduced a bit ( to 16 or whatever ), this is up to you. 6) The increase of size of the binary is not so dramatic: size busybox text data bss dec hex filename 239568 2300 36816 278684 4409c busybox size busybox_fixed text data bss dec hex filename 239616 2300 36816 278732 440cc busybox 7) The behaviour of whoami changed: actually it prints out an username cut down to the size of the buffer. This could be fixed by increasing the size of the buffer as in id.c or avoid the use of my_getpwuid and use getpwuid directly instead. Maybe this colud be also remain unchanged...... Please apply if you think it is ok to do so. The diff applies on today's cvs tarball (2004-08-25). Thanks in advance, Ciao, Tito

Hi to all, This patch is useful for: 1) remove an unused var from extern char *find_real_root_device_name(const char* name) changing it to extern char *find_real_root_device_name(void). 2) fixes include/libbb.h, coreutils/df.c, util-linux/mount.c and util-linux/umount.c accordingly. 3) fixes a bug, really a false positive, in find_real_root_device_name() that happens if in the /dev directory exists a link named root (/dev/root) that should be skipped but is not. This affects applets like df that display wrong results

The updated patch adds a config option to explicitely enable 64 bit arithmetic. Also it removes the arith prototype from libbb.h as it is not used outside of ash. Bastian this patch has been slightly modified by Erik for cleanliness.

this patch fixes run_parts when it's called by ifupdown. 1) argv has to be a NULL terminated char* array, not just a string. 2) run_parts now explicitly sets the environment. this environment is populated from the /etc/network/interfaces config file and is needed by the scripts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/. when run-parts is called from the command line the environment is taken from the current process. Vladimir Oleynik then wrote: You can simplify this if use: + bb_xasprintf(&buf[0], "/etc/network/if-%s.d", opt); + buf[1] = NULL; + + run_parts(&buf, 2, environ); + free(buf[0]); --w vodz

Manuel, I rewrite bb_getopt_ulflags() function for more universal usage. My version support now: - options with arguments (optional arg as GNU extension also) - complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list options - long_opt (all applets may have long option, add supporting is trivial) This realisation full compatibile from your version. Code size grow 480 bytes, but only coreutils/* over compensate this size after using new function. Last patch reduced over 800 bytes and not full applied to all. "mkdir" and "mv" applets have long_opt now for demonstrate trivial addition support long_opt with usage new bb_getopt_ulflags(). Complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list options logic is not trivial, but new "cut" and "grep" applets using this logic for examples with full demostrating. New "grep" applet reduced over 300 bytes. Mark, Also. I removed bug from "grep" applet. $ echo a b | busybox grep -e a b a b a b But right is printing one only. --w vodz
