From 3776f38fcd267c127ba5eb222e2c614c191744aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017 05:59:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Ignore and remove LD_HWCAP_MASK for AT_SECURE programs (bug #21209) The LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable may alter the selection of function variants for some architectures. For AT_SECURE process it means that if an outdated routine has a bug that would otherwise not affect newer platforms by default, LD_HWCAP_MASK will allow that bug to be exploited. To be on the safe side, ignore and disable LD_HWCAP_MASK for setuid binaries. [BZ #21209] * elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Ignore LD_HWCAP_MASK for AT_SECURE processes. * sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h: Add LD_HWCAP_MASK.
