glibc: Update version from 2.27 to 2.29
From the [announcement][1]: > NEWS for version 2.29 > ==================== > > * The getcpu wrapper function has been added, which returns the > currently used CPU and NUMA node. This function is Linux-specific. > > * A new convenience target has been added for distribution maintainers > to build and install all locales as directories with files. The new > target is run by issuing the following command in your build tree: > 'make localedata/install-locale-files', with an optional DESTDIR > to set the install root if you wish to install into a non-default > configured location. > > * Optimized generic exp, exp2, log, log2, pow, sinf, cosf, sincosf and > tanf. > > * The reallocarray function is now declared under _DEFAULT_SOURCE, not > just for _GNU_SOURCE, to match BSD environments. > > * For powercp64le ABI, Transactional Lock Elision is now enabled iff > kernel indicates that it will abort the transaction prior to entering > the kernel (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC on hwcap2). On older kernels the > transaction is suspended, and this caused some undefined side-effects > issues by aborting transactions manually. Glibc avoided it by abort > transactions manually on each syscall, but it lead to performance > issues on newer kernels where the HTM state is saved and restore > lazily (the state being saved even when the process actually does not > use HTM). > > * The functions posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np and > posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np have been added, enabling > posix_spawn and posix_spawnp to run the new process in a different > directory. These functions are GNU extensions. The function > posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np is similar to the Solaris > function of the same name. > > * The popen and system do not run atfork handlers anymore (BZ#17490). > Although it is a possible POSIX violation, the POSIX rationale in > pthread_atfork documentation regarding atfork handlers is to handle > inconsistent mutex state after a fork call in a multi-threaded > process. > In both popen and system there is no direct access to user-defined > mutexes. > > * Support for the C-SKY ABIV2 running on Linux has been added. This > port requires at least binutils-2.32, gcc-9.0, and linux-4.20. Two > ABIs are supported: > - C-SKY ABIV2 soft-float little-endian > - C-SKY ABIV2 hard-float little-endian > > * strftime's default formatting of a locale's alternative year (%Ey) > has been changed to zero-pad the year to a minimum of two digits, > like "%y". This improves the display of Japanese era years during > the first nine years of a new era, and is expected to be harmless > for all other locales (only Japanese locales regularly have > alternative year numbers less than 10). Zero-padding can be > overridden with the '_' or '-' flags (which are GNU extensions). > > * As a GNU extension, the '_' and '-' flags can now be applied to > "%EY" to control how the year number is formatted; they have the > same effect that they would on "%Ey". […] > Security related changes: > > CVE-2018-19591: A file descriptor leak in if_nametoindex can lead to a > denial of service due to resource exhaustion when processing > getaddrinfo calls with crafted host names. Reported by Guido Vranken. > > CVE-2019-6488: On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower > 32 bits of a 64-bit register with with non-zero upper 32 bit. When it > happened, accessing the 32-bit size_t value as the full 64-bit > register in the assembly string/memory functions would cause a buffer > overflow. > Reported by H.J. Lu. > > CVE-2016-10739: The getaddrinfo function could successfully parse IPv4 > addresses with arbitrary trailing characters, potentially leading to > data or command injection issues in applications.
