Package: libuuid1
Version: 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.10-1
Severity: important
The current libuuid has this in lib/uuid/gen_uuid.c (summarised):
static int get_random_fd(void)
{
static int fd = -2;
if (fd == -2) {
fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);
}
return fd;
}
fd is never closed, and so is left open over an execve(). This can
cause problems (and is causing me trouble exec'in the LVM tools, which
spew a lot of warnings about it).
Please could you use fcntl to set FD_CLOEXEC on the fd? This would fix
the problem quite nicely, for example:
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, fcntl(fd, F_GETFD, 0) | FD_CLOEXEC));
Many thanks,
Roger
