Subject: [PATCH] elf: Check for empty tokens before dynamic string token
expansion [BZ #22625]
The fillin_rpath function in elf/dl-load.c loops over each RPATH or
RUNPATH tokens and interprets empty tokens as the current directory
("./"). In practice the check for empty token is done *after* the
dynamic string token expansion. The expansion process can return an
empty string for the $ORIGIN token if __libc_enable_secure is set
or if the path of the binary can not be determined (/proc not mounted).
Fix that by moving the check for empty tokens before the dynamic string
token expansion. In addition, check for NULL pointer or empty strings
return by expand_dynamic_string_token.
The above changes highlighted a bug in decompose_rpath, an empty array
is represented by the first element being NULL at the fillin_rpath
level, but by using a -1 pointer in decompose_rpath and other functions.
Changelog:
[BZ #22625]
* elf/dl-load.c (fillin_rpath): Check for empty tokens before dynamic
string token expansion. Check for NULL pointer or empty string possibly
returned by expand_dynamic_string_token.
(decompose_rpath): Check for empty path after dynamic string
token expansion.
(cherry picked from commit 3e3c904daef69b8bf7d5cc07f793c9f07c3553ef)
