coreutils, branch v8.26

version 8.26

2016-11-30T18:11:57Z

* NEWS: Record release date.

tests: fix false failure with spaces in $PWD

2016-11-30T15:50:59Z

* tests/misc/ptx-overrun.sh: Quote appropriately to avoid this recently added issue, noticed by `make taint-distcheck`.

maint: avoid "make distcheck" failure without excess .deps directories

2016-11-30T14:48:01Z

* Makefile.am (my-distcheck): Add the -r option to xargs so that rmdir doesn't return an error when there are no extraneous .deps dirs.

tests: fix ERRORs and false FAILs on some platforms

2016-11-29T21:21:12Z

* tests/misc/ls-time.sh: Skip the test rather than ERROR when `touch -m -d ...` fails (Hurd). * tests/tail-2/follow-stdin.sh: Avoid false FAILs by ignoring the variances in sterror output. * tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail.sh: Likewise. Also avoid ERRORs on systems that don't define _D_EXACT_NAMELEN.

head: fix processing of non-seekable input as seekable

2016-11-28T18:36:32Z

* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file): Ensure we don't use st_size unless we've previously used seek() to determine the CURRENT_POS in the seekable file. This was seen to cause issue on FreeBSD 11 when the pipe buffer was filled with `yes | head --lines=-0`, in which case st_size was 64KiB while ST_BLKSIZE() was 4KiB. Reported by Assaf Gordon.

install,mkdir: fix handling of -DZ and -pZ, respectively

2016-11-28T16:17:31Z

... in the case where two or more directories nested in each other are created and each of them defaults to a different SELinux context. * src/install.c (make_ancestor): When calling defaultcon(), give it the same path that is given to mkdir(). The other path is not always valid wrt. current working directory. * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1398913

tac: fix mem corruption when failing to read non seekable inputs

2016-11-28T13:19:24Z

This was detected with ASAN, but can also be seen without ASAN with: $ tac - - <&- tac: standard input: read error: Bad file descriptor *** Error in `tac': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x... * src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Don't close our output stream on (possibly transient) output error, or on input error. (temp_stream): clearerr() on the stream about to be reused, to ensure future stream use is not impacted by transient errors. * tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/25041

tail: fix uninitialized memory read when failing to read file

2016-11-27T21:10:15Z

Reproduced under UBSAN with `tail -f <&-` giving: tail.c:2220:18: runtime error: load of value 190, which is not a valid value for type ‘_Bool' * src/tail.c (tail_file): Ensure f->ignore is initialized in all cases where we can't tail the specified file. * tests/tail-2/follow-stdin.sh: Add a test case which checks stderr has no UBSAN warnings. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/25041

doc: add NEWS entries for recent changes

2016-11-27T01:20:09Z

* NEWS: Mention in improvements about the workaround for the glibc issue with closed stdin, and the new supported file systems. * tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Spelling fix.
