[PATCH 6.18 256/396] selftests/clone3: fix wild pointer access of getline due to missing init

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Gellermann <[email protected]>

commit 8f6f9fd93cd7a5dd607ad5cd910476dd68fff3ed upstream.

Patch series "selftests: Add missing initalization of pointer passed to
getline", v2.


This patch (of 2):

Clone3_set_tid uses getline(&line, ...) in a loop to read the child's
process status.  The code expects that getline allocates the buffer for
the line on the first loop iteration.  According to the Open Group
Spec[1], char *line has to be null pointer for this:

> ssize_t getline(char **restrict lineptr, ...);
> If *lineptr is a null pointer or if the object pointed to by *lineptr
> is of insufficient size, an object shall be allocated as if by
malloc()
> or the object shall be reallocated as if by realloc()[...].

However, char *line is only declared, leading to an undefined value that
is potentially non-null.  In an example run with Musl v1.2.6, the realloc
call[2] of getdelim, which implements getline, triggers a segfault:

./run_kselftest.sh --test clone3:clone3_set_tid

...

Looking at the realloc implementation, Musl mallocs for a null pointer
memory.  But for a non-null pointer, it assumes it's passed a valid
pointer to the heap and tries to access its meta-data.  This leads to the
segfault we see:

void *realloc(void *p, size_t n)
{
        if (!p) return malloc(n);
        if (size_overflows(n)) return 0;

        struct meta *g = get_meta(p);
        ...
}

Fix this by properly initializing the line pointer to NULL.
