- <pinotree> interesting, glibc on every OS except hurd (so including linux
- too) does not define O_EXEC
- <pinotree> can somebody please help me understand a POSIX behaviour?
- <pinotree> it's about fexecve:
- http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fexecve.html
- <pinotree> basically, it seems to me (reading the "errors" and "application
- usage" sections) that O_EXEC for open() the fd is not mandatory, and if
- not used fexecve will check for file permission at call time?
- <pinotree> because currently libdiskfs and libnetfs require the fd to be
- open with O_EXEC
- <braunr> "Since execute permission is checked by fexecve(), the file
- description fd need not have been opened with the O_EXEC flag"
- <braunr> this one makes it clear checking for O_EXEC is wrong
- <braunr> it looks like O_EXEC is only needed when you want to have files
- for which only the execution permission is set
- <braunr> but not the read one
- <braunr> (i don't understand the "and write" part though)
- <braunr> "exec will fail if the mode of the file associated with fd does
- not grant execute permission to the calling process at the time fexecve()
- is called."
- <braunr> this one strengthens the impression you have, that fexecve indeed
- checks file permissions at the time it's called
- <braunr> pinotree: hope it helps
- <pinotree> so it implies the following:
- <pinotree> O_RDONLY → exec works if the file is readable
- <braunr> exec works if the file is readable and/or executable (although
- without read permissions you can't check it)
- <braunr> (well, fexecve)
- <pinotree> O_EXEC → exec requires that the permission of the file at
- fexecve() time have +x
- <braunr> i'd say ye so far
- <braunr> yes
- <pinotree> so we need to fix lib{disk,net}fs then
- <braunr> seems so
- <pinotree> enlighting, merci braunr
- <braunr> de rien
- <pinotree> :)
