Indeed, it always failed.  I made a mistake when writing agetpass(),
assuming that readpassphrase(3) would keep newlines.

Instead, I added an extra byte to the allocation to allow a maximum
password length of PASS_MAX (which is the maximum for getpass(3), which
we're replacing.

While doing that, I notice that my previous implementation also had
another bug (minor): The maximum password length was PASS_MAX - 1
instead of PASS_MAX.  That's also fixed in this commit.

baae5b4a06 find_new_[gu]id(): Skip over IDs that are reserved for legacy reasons
Some programs don't support `(uint16_t) -1` or `(uint32_t) -1` as user
or group IDs.  This is because `-1` is used as an error code or as an
unspecified ID, e.g. in `chown(2)` parameters, and in the past, `gid_t`
and `uid_t` have changed width.  For legacy reasons, those values have
been kept reserved in programs today (for example systemd does this; see
the documentation in the link below).

This should not be confused with catching overflow in the ID values,
since that is already caught by our ERANGE checks.  This is about not
using reserved values that have been reserved for legacy reasons.

strncat(3), strlcpy(3), and many other functions are often misused for

is good.  However, there's no equivalent to strlcat(3) similar to

it is also the only function compatible with stpeprintf(), which makes
it more useful than strlcat(3).

ca9e309d30 Fix VPATH build
When trying to build shadow in a different directory I stumbled upon few
issues, this commit aims to fix all of them:

- The `subid.h` file is generated and hence in the build directory and
	not in the source directory, so use `$(builddir)` instead of
	`$(srcdir)`.

- Using `$<` instead of filenames utilises autotools to locate the files
  in either the source or build directory automatically.

- `xsltproc` needs to access the files in login.defs.d in either the
  source directory or the symlink in a language subdirectory, but it
	does not interpret the `--path` as prefix of the entity path, but
	rather a path under which to locate the basename of the entity
	from the XML file.  So specify the whole path to login.defs.d.

- The above point could be used to make the symlinks of login.defs.d
  and entity path specifications in the XMLs obsolete, but I trying
	not to propose possibly disrupting patches, so for the sake of
	simplicity just specify `$(srcdir)` when creating the symlink.

5da8388fc6 ttytype(): Fix race
The intention of the code is just to not report an error message when
'typefile' doesn't exist.  If we call access(2) and then fopen(2),
there's a race.  It's not a huge problem, and the worst thing that can
happen is reporting an error when the file has been removed after
access(2).  It's not a problem, but we can fix the race and at the same
time clarify the intention of not warning about ENOENT and also remove
one syscall.  Seems like a win-win.

bddcd9b095 Remove superfluous casts
-  Every non-const pointer converts automatically to void *.
-  Every pointer converts automatically to void *.
-  void * converts to any other pointer.
-  const void * converts to any other const pointer.
-  Integer variables convert to each other.

I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.

However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate.  I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.

I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.

This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).

e762ab8b54 Assume getutent(3) exists (remove dead code)
Recently, we removed support for 'struct utmpx'.  We did it because utmp
and utmpx are identical, and while POSIX specifies utmpx (and not utmp),
GNU/Linux documentation seems to favor utmp.  Also, this project
defaulted to utmp, so changing to utmpx would be more dangerous than
keeping old defaults, even if it's supposed to be the same.

Now, I just found more code that didn't make much sense: lib/utent.c
provides definitions for getutent(3) and friends in case the system
doesn't provide them, but we don't provide prototypes for those
definitions, so code using the functions would have never compiled.

Let's just remove these definitions as dead code.

62172f6fb5 Call NULL by its name
In variadic functions we still do the cast.  In POSIX, it's not
necessary, since NULL is required to be of type 'void *', and 'void *'
is guaranteed to have the same alignment and representation as 'char *'.
However, since ISO C still doesn't mandate that, and moreover they're
doing dubious stuff by adding nullptr, let's be on the cautious side.
Also, C++ requires that NULL is _not_ 'void *', but either plain 0 or
some magic stuff.

37ae232080 Correctly handle illegal system file in tz
If the file referenced by ENV_TZ has a zero length string, then an out
of boundary write occurs. Also the result can be wrong because it is
assumed that the file will always end with a newline.

Only override a newline character with '\0' to avoid these cases.

This cannot be considered to be security relevant because login.defs
and its contained references to system files should be trusted to begin
with.

Proof of Concept:

1. Compile shadow's su with address sanitizer and --without-libpam

2. Setup your /etc/login.defs to contain ENV_TZ=/etc/tzname

3. Prepare /etc/tzname to contain a '\0' byte at the beginning

`python -c "print('\x00')" > /etc/tzname`

4. Use su

`su -l`

You can see the following output:

`tz.c:45:8: runtime error: index 18446744073709551615 out of bounds for type 'char [8192]'`

1a0e13f94e Optimize csrand_uniform()
Use a different algorithm to minimize rejection.  This is essentially
the same algorithm implemented in the Linux kernel for
__get_random_u32_below(), but written in a more readable way, and
avoiding microopimizations that make it less readable.

Which (the Linux kernel implementation) is itself based on Daniel
Lemire's algorithm from "Fast Random Integer Generation in an Interval",
linked below.  However, I couldn't really understand that paper very
much, so I had to reconstruct the proofs from scratch, just from what I
could understand from the Linux kernel implementation source code.

I constructed some graphical explanation of how it works, and why it
is optimal, because I needed to visualize it to understand it.  It is
published in the GitHub pull request linked below.

Here goes a wordy explanation of why this algorithm based on
multiplication is better optimized than my original implementation based
on masking.

masking:

	It discards the extra bits of entropy that are not necessary for
	this operation.  This works as if dividing the entire space of
	possible csrand() values into smaller spaces of a size that is
	a smaller power of 2.  Each of those smaller spaces has a
	rejection band, so we get as many rejection bands as spaces
	there are.  For smaller values of 'n', the size of each
	rejection band is smaller, but having more rejection bands
	compensates for this, and results in the same inefficiency as
	for large values of 'n'.

multiplication:

	It divides the entire space of possible random numbers in
	chunks of size exactly 'n', so that there is only one rejection
	band that is the remainder of `2^64 % n`.  The worst case is
	still similar to the masking algorithm, a rejection band that is
	almost half the entire space (n = 2^63 + 1), but for lower
	values of 'n', by only having one small rejection band, it is
	much faster than the masking algorithm.

	This algorithm, however, has one caveat: the implementation
	is harder to read, since it relies on several bitwise tricky
	operations to perform operations like `2^64 % n`, `mult % 2^64`,
	and `mult / 2^64`.  And those operations are different depending
	on the number of bits of the maximum possible random number
	generated by the function.  This means that while this algorithm
	could also be applied to get uniform random numbers in the range
	[0, n-1] quickly from a function like rand(3), which only
	produces 31 bits of (non-CS) random numbers, it would need to be
	implemented differently.  However, that's not a concern for us,
	it's just a note so that nobody picks this code and expects it
	to just work with rand(3) (which BTW I tried for testing it, and
	got a bit confused until I realized this).

Finally, here's some light testing of this implementation, just to know
that I didn't goof it.  I pasted this function into a standalone
program, and run it many times to find if it has any bias (I tested also
to see how many iterations it performs, and it's also almost always 1,
but that test is big enough to not paste it here).

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	printf("%lu\n", csrand_uniform(atoi(argv[1])));
}

$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 1 | wc -l
341
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 1 | wc -l
339
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 1 | wc -l
338
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 2 | wc -l
336
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 2 | wc -l
328
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 2 | wc -l
335
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 0 | wc -l
332
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 0 | wc -l
331
$ seq 1 1000 | while read _; do ./a.out 3; done | grep 0 | wc -l
327

This isn't a complete test for a cryptographically-secure random number
generator, of course, but I leave that for interested parties.

31375d48ca Add csrand_uniform()
This API is similar to arc4random_uniform(3).  However, for an input of
0, this function is equivalent to csrand(), while arc4random_uniform(0)
returns 0.

This function will be used to reimplement csrand_interval() as a wrapper
around this one.

The current implementation of csrand_interval() doesn't produce very good
random numbers.  It has a bias.  And that comes from performing some
unnecessary floating-point calculations that overcomplicate the problem.

Looping until the random number hits within bounds is unbiased, and
truncating unwanted bits makes the overhead of the loop very small.

We could reduce loop overhead even more, by keeping unused bits of the
random number, if the width of the mask is not greater than
ULONG_WIDTH/2, however, that complicates the code considerably, and I
prefer to be a bit slower but have simple code.

BTW, Björn really deserves the copyright for csrand() (previously known
as read_random_bytes()), since he rewrote it almost from scratch last
year, and I kept most of its contents.  Since he didn't put himself in
the copyright back then, and BSD-3-Clause doesn't allow me to attribute
derived works, I won't add his name, but if he asks, he should be put in
the copyright too.

4a56f2baab Add bit manipulation functions
These functions implement bit manipulation APIs, which will be added to
C23, so that in the far future, we will be able to replace our functions
by the standard ones, just by adding the stdc_ prefix, and including
<stdbit.h>.

However, we need to avoid UB for an input of 0, so slightly deviate from
C23, and use a different name (with _wrap) for distunguishing our API
from the standard one.

be1f4f7972 Move csrand() to a new file csrand.c
A set of APIs similar to arc4random(3) is complex enough to deserve its
own file.

986ef4e69c Use naming consistent with other common functions
arc4random(3) returns a number.
arc4random_buf(3) fills a buffer.
arc4random_uniform(3) returns a number less than a bound.

and I'd add a hypothetical one which we use:

*_interval() should return a number within the interval [min, max].

In reality, the function being called csrand() in this patch is not
really cryptographically secure, since it had a bias, but a subsequent
patch will fix that.

6d2337d9e8 Fix types of the csrand_interval() API
We were always casting the result to u_long.  Better just use that type
in the function.  Since we're returning u_long, it makes sense to also
specify the input as u_long.  In fact, that'll help for doing bitwise
operations inside this function.

8f441c9f7a Use a more precise name for a CSPRNG API with an interval
I have plans to split this function in smaller functions that implement
bits of this functionallity, to simplify the implementation.  So, let's
use names that distinguish them.

This one produces a number within an interval, so make that clear.  Also
make clear that the function produces cryptographically-secure numbers.
