Unfortunatelly I've not followed the last two or three weeks commits (new

All values `ifconfig' is showing are `zeroed' -- I quickly looked at the
last commits I missed and noticed that there were a commit relating to
ifconfig, libbb/interface.c:1.23->1.24 (PatchSet 4338).

I've reversed the patch and now everything is working again.  I compared
the get_name's return values from the 1.23 and 1.24 and quickly noticed
that the new revision is leaving `p' right on the sep while the rev 1.23
was leaving it right on the starting of the values...

1-line, 1/3-minute patch attached  :-)

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,
I've fixed also the issue of whoami cutting down usernames.
This time I cannot send a diff because i don't know if my previous patches will be applied
or not, so I send in the whole file.
The changes I've made don't affect size but ensure that usernames of whatever lenght
are correctly displayed.
root@localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox/coreutils# size whoami_orig.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

     93       0       0      93      5d whoami.o

This should be applied even if the other patches aren't as this matches the behaviour of the  GNU whoami.

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.......).

This patch makes msh handle variable expansion within backticks more
correctly.

Current behaviour (wrong):
--------------------------

BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2004.08.26-11:51+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

$ A='`echo hello`'
$ echo $A
`echo hello`
$ echo `echo $A`
hello

New behaviour (correct):
------------------------

BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2004.08.26-11:51+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

$ A='`echo hello`'
$ echo $A
`echo hello`
$ echo `echo $A`
`echo hello`
$

The current behaviour (wrong according to standards) was actually my
fault. msh handles backticks by executing a subshell (which makes it
work on MMU-less systems). Executing a subshell makes it hard to only
expand variables once in the parent. Therefore I export all variables
that will be expanded within the backticks and let the subshell handle
the expansion instead.

The bug was found while searching for security leaks in CGI-scripts.
Current behaviour of msh makes it easy to expand backticks by mistake
in $QUERY_STRING. I recommend appling the patch before release of bb
1.00.

The Togg's sysklogd patch to use sendto() on remote logging is formatting
strangely (using `<' and '>' surrounding the `msg' string message).  This
is OK, but this is not the standard way of formatting this message.

So this patch does the following:

o Fix the formatting to the standard way.
o Uses `MAXLINE' when needed;
o Don't loop sending messages without a "sleeping time",
  I'm now doing `now = 1', `now <<= 1';
o Don't die on `init_RemoteLog' when starting up (feature!)
  We're now trying to connect every time we have an invalid fd;
o Removes one static uneeded variable.
o Removes two automatic uneeded variables.

Patch from Egor Duda
Attached patch prevents modprobe from trying to call 'insmod (null)'
whenever nonexistent module is either passed to modprobe via command
line or mentioned in modules.dep

this replaces cryptic error
sh: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
with
modprobe: module some-module not found.

Patch from Michael Tokarev:

Scenario:

  touch x -- creates plain file name `x'
  mkdir x -- exits successefully

libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains
the following code:

        if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) {
            /* If we failed for any other reason than the directory
             * already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/
            if (errno != EEXIST) {
                fail_msg = "create";
                umask(mask);
                break;
            }
            /* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change
             * permissions if it was the full target.  Note that
             * this is not an error conditon. */
            if (!c) {
                umask(mask);
                return 0;
            }
        }

The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory*
already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause
this error to be returned.  Proper way IMHO will be is to stat()
the path and check whenever this is really a directory.  Below
(attached) is a patch to fix this issue.

Hi!

I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.

That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.

I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.

'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.

One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

Hello, all.

Busybox init does not handle removed inittab entry correctly.

# I'm sorry about my poor english, but you can find

even if you apply this path,
when yoy try to change a command line option in inittab,
you have to do following steps.
1. remove old line from initrd
2. send HUP signal to init
3. kill old proces which is invoked from init.
4. append new line to inittab
5. send HUP signal to init, again

patch is against current CVS + last patch witch I send it last.
