+Subject: CVE-2014-7817: wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD.
+X-Git-Url: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=33ceaf6187b31ea15284ac65131749e1cb68d2ae

+CVE-2014-7817: wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD.
+
+The function wordexp() fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD
+flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of "$((... ``))"
+where "..." can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic
+epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade
+command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass
+dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass
+the WRDE_NOCMD flag. This patch fixes this by checking for WRDE_NOCMD
+in exec_comm(), the only place that can execute a shell. All other
+checks for WRDE_NOCMD are superfluous and removed.
+
+We expand the testsuite and add 3 new regression tests of roughly
+the same form but with a couple of nested levels.
+
+On top of the 3 new tests we add fork validation to the WRDE_NOCMD
+testing. If any forks are detected during the execution of a wordexp()
+call with WRDE_NOCMD, the test is marked as failed. This is slightly
+heuristic since vfork might be used in the future, but it provides a
+higher level of assurance that no shells were executed as part of
+command substitution with WRDE_NOCMD in effect. In addition it doesn't
+require libpthread or libdl, instead we use the public implementation
+namespace function __register_atfork (already part of the public ABI
+for libpthread).
+
+Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.
+
