my_getpwnam -> bb_xgetpwnam /* dies on error */ my_getgrnam -> bb_xgetgrnam /* dies on error */ my_getgrgid -> bb_getgrgid my_getpwuid -> bb_getpwuid my_getug -> bb_getug
2005-04-06Removed the incorrect and confusing facility argument specified withPeter Kjellerstedt
openlog() as the correct facility will be specified with syslog() anyway.

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, Erik. my_getpw(uid/gid) and applets used it have problem: if username for uid not found, applets can`t detect it (but code pessent). Also "%8ld " format is bad: spaces not required (applets have self format or spec format (tar applet) and overflow for "id" applet...) This problem also pressent in stable version. Patch for unstable in attach. --w vodz

2001-07-22Some patches to make dietlibc work...Eric Andersen
2001-07-19Some adjustments, mostly from David McCullough <davidm@lineo.com> toEric Andersen
make busybox be more uClinux friendly. I also adjusted Config.h for uClinux so it will automagically disable apps the arn't going to work without fork() and such. -Erik
2001-03-12Applied patch from Gennady Feldman to split up syslogd.c into syslogd andMark Whitley
klogd (as it should be).
2001-02-20It turns out that DODMALLOC was broken when I reorganized busybox.hEric Andersen
header file usage before the 0.49 release. To fix it, I had to move the '#include "busybox.h"' to the end of the list of #include files. -Erik
2001-02-14This patch, put together by Manuel Novoa III, is a merge of workEric Andersen
done by Evin Robertson (bug#1105) and work from Manuel to make usage messages occupy less space and simplify how usage messages are displayed.

a release. Update the website with release details. -Erik
2001-01-27Fix header file usage -- there were many unnecessary header files included inEric Andersen
busybox.h which slowed compiles. I left only what was needed and then fixed up all the apps to include their own header files. I also fixed naming for pwd.h and grp.h functions. Tested to compile and run with libc5, glibc, and uClibc. -Erik
