*	Remove check for NULL buffer passed to `ptsname_r'	Arjun Shankar	2017-06-07	1	-1/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	`ptsname_r' is declared in stdlib.h to only accept a `nonnull' second argument and therefore GCC may choose to make optimizations based on the assumption that this argument is NULL. This means that potentially, GCC can optimize away the NULL check at some point in the future. Since this is a programming interface, we might as well remove the NULL check ourselves. This also warrants a change to the `ptsname_r' manual page that must be submitted to the corresponding mailing list. In addition, remove the NULL buffer test in login/tst-ptsname.c.

*	ptsname_r: don't leak uninitialized memory (BZ #16917)	Aurelien Jarno	2014-05-16	1	-0/+108
	If the fd refers to a terminal device, but not a pty master, the TIOCGPTN ioctl returns with ENOTTY. This error is not caught, and the possibly undefined buffer passed to ptsname_r is sent directly to the stat64 syscall. Fix this by using a fallback to the old method only if the TIOCGPTN ioctl fails with EINVAL. This also fix the return value in that specific case (it return ENOENT without this patch). Also add tests to the ptsname_r function (and ptsname at the same time). Note: this is Debian bug#741482, reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>
