Do not reset the pid_child to 0 if the child process is still
running. This else-condition can be reached with pid being -1,
therefore explicitly test this condition.
This is a regression fix for CVE-2017-2616. If su receives a
signal like SIGTERM, it is not propagated to the child.

The third field in the /etc/shadow file (sp_lstchg) contains the date of
the last password change expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970.
As this is a relative time, creating a user today will result in:
username:17238:0:99999:7:::
whilst creating the same user tomorrow will result in:
username:17239:0:99999:7:::
This has an impact for the Reproducible Builds[0] project where we aim to
be independent of as many elements the build environment as possible,
including the current date.
This patch changes the behaviour to use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[1]
environment variable (instead of Jan 1, 1970) if valid.

If ptr->line == NULL for an entry, the first cycle will exit,
but the second one will happily write past entries buffer.
We actually do not want to exit the first cycle prematurely
on ptr->line == NULL.

If su is compiled with PAM support, it is possible for any local user
to send SIGKILL to other processes with root privileges. There are
only two conditions. First, the user must be able to perform su with
a successful login. This does NOT have to be the root user, even using
su with the same id is enough, e.g. "su $(whoami)". Second, SIGKILL
can only be sent to processes which were executed after the su process.
It is not possible to send SIGKILL to processes which were already
running. I consider this as a security vulnerability, because I was
able to write a proof of concept which unlocked a screen saver of
another user this way.
This reverts the behavior of "useradd --root" to using the settings
from login.defs in the target root directory, not the root of the
executed useradd command.
Without this patch, PAM enabled builds crash when encountering an
invalid key in login.defs or key overrides because of array overflows
To reproduce, simply
useradd -K Windows=broken

Previously, the allocation was optimized for an outdated
deployment style (that of /etc/group alongside nss_db). The issue
here is that this results in extremely poor performance when using
SSSD, Winbind or nss_ldap.
There were actually two serious bugs here that have been addressed:
1) Running getgrent() loops won't work in most SSSD or Winbind
environments, as full group enumeration is disabled by default.
This could easily result in auto-allocating a group that was
already in use. (This might result in a security issue as well, if
the shared GID is a privileged group).
2) For system groups, the loop was always iterating through the
complete SYS_GID_MIN->SYS_GID_MAX range. On SSSD and Winbind, this
means hundreds of round-trips to LDAP (unless the GIDs were
specifically configured to be ignored by the SSSD or winbindd).
To a user with a slow connection to their LDAP server, this would
appear as if groupadd -r was hung. (Though it would eventually
complete).
This patch changes the algorithm to be more favorable for LDAP
environments, at the expense of some performance when using nss_db.
Given that the DB is a local service, this should have a negligible
effect from a user's perspective.
With the new algorithm, we simply first iterate through all entries
in the local database with gr_next(), recording the IDs that are in
use. We then start from the highest presumed-available entry and
call getgrgid() to see if it is available. We continue this until
we come to the first unused GID. We then select that and return it.
If we make it through all the remaining IDs without finding a free
one, we start over from the beginning of the range and try to find
room in one of the gaps in the range.
The patch was originally written by Stephen Gallagher and applied
identically also to the user allocation by Tomáš Mráz.

The useradd application resets the user data in /var/log/faillog, if it
exists and a new user is created.
pam_tally2 is used in many distributions.
Check for /var/log/tallylog and reset the user there.
