As noted in bug 13888, and as I noted previously in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2000-10/msg00111.html>, various tests used hardcoded paths in /tmp, so posing issues for simultaneous test runs from different build directories. This patch fixes such uses of hardcoded file names to put them in the build directory instead (in the case of stdio-common/bug5 the file names are changed as well, to avoid a conflict with the name bug5.out also used for the automatic test output redirection). It also fixes test-installation.pl likewise (that was using filenames with $$ in them rather than strictly hardcoded names, but that's still not good practice for temporary file naming). Note that my list of files changed is not identical to that in bug 13888. I added tst-spawn3.c and test-installation.pl, and removed some tests that seem to me (now) to create temporary files securely (simply using /tmp is not itself a problem if the temporary files are handled properly with mkstemp; I haven't checked whether those tests used to do things insecurely). conformtest is not changed because the makefiles always pass a --tmpdir option so the /tmp default is irrelevant, and for the same reason there is no actual problem with nptl/tst-umask1.c because again the makefiles always override the default. nptl/sockperf.c is ignored because there is no code to run it; probably that file should actually be removed. Some tests use the mktemp function, but I think they all use it in a way that *is* secure (for generating names for directories / sockets / fifos / symlinks, where the operation using the name will not follow symlinks and so there is no potential for a symlink attack on the account running the testsuite). Some tests use the tmpnam function to generate temporary file names. This is in principle insecure, but not addressed by this patch (I consider it a separate issue from the fully hardcoded paths). Tested for x86_64.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
