Patrick,

I think this should also be known to the posixtestsuite maintainer. I am
ready to update the LTP posixtestsuite for the same.

Subject: [LTP] [Patch] sem_getvalue 5_1.c, Buffer overflow
Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:06:41 +0200

Hey,
 If you compile this testcase with gcc parameter "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
it results in:
*** buffer overflow detected ***:
/usr/lib64/ltp/testcases/bin/openposix/conformance/interfaces/sem_getvalue/5-1.test
terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__chk_fail+0x2f)[0x2b76feaee19f]
/lib64/libc.so.6[0x2b76feaed6d9]

/usr/lib64/ltp/testcases/bin/openposix/conformance/interfaces/sem_getvalue/5-1.test[0x4007a9]

This is caused due a too short char array, patch attached.

Can add the parameter "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" as a standard for compiling
ltp-testcases?

_FORTIFY_SOURCE is a Glibc feature which adds memory and string function
protection. There is no home site for this feature, but it is described well
on this page: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg02055.html
