>Description:
getcwd() takes a buffer and the buffer's size as the first
two arguments. If this buffer is large enough that getcwd()
opens a directory using opendir(), but too small to hold the
directory's name, it returns ERANGE (correct) but does not
close the directory with closedir() (incorrect) resulting
in a file descriptor leak.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 20
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char small[SIZE];
int count = 0;
/* Should loop forever */
while (1) {
count++;
if (!getcwd(small, SIZE)) {
if (errno != ERANGE) {
printf("bad getcwd error (%d) at attempt %d\n", errno, count);
return -1;
}
}
}
return 0;
}
