This reminds me that there are some common cases where it is wrong to close descriptors you don't know about. The non-POSIX command diff <(cmd1) <(cmd2) that compares the outputs of the two commands, when executed with bash that was compiled with the full /dev/fd visible (as in poudriere), will actually run something like diff /dev/fd/63 /dev/fd/62 passing two file descriptors to pipes. When created by a shell, these pathnames will start with /dev/fd/, but people could create symlinks to these special files. > [snip] > +static void > +stdnull(void) > +{ > + int fd; > + > + fd = open(_PATH_DEVNULL, O_RDWR); > + if (fd == -1) > + errx(1, "Unable to open %s", _PATH_DEVNULL); > + > + if (setsid() == -1) > + errx(1, "Unable to detach from session"); There is an implicit assumption here that stdnull() is only called from a process that was forked off from here, since setsid() will not and cannot work when called from a process that is already a session leader. If the application is running from a shell, this setsid() will exclude the process from most signals, including terminal ^C/^\/^Z, kill % and hangups. More generally, this might make it more likely for the process to hang around indefinitely after the parent is gone. > + > + if (dup2(fd, STDIN_FILENO) == -1) > + errx(1, "Unable to cover stdin"); > + if (dup2(fd, STDOUT_FILENO) == -1) > + errx(1, "Unable to cover stdout"); > + if (dup2(fd, STDERR_FILENO) == -1) > + errx(1, "Unable to cover stderr"); > + > + close(fd); This was not broken by this commit, but fd should not be closed if it is equal to STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO or STDERR_FILENO. > [snip] -- Jilles Tjoelker
