Bug#329387: Bugzilla: Unsafe use of temporary files in the syncshadowdb script

2005-12-26 Thread David Miller
FYI, the reporter was mistaken, the upstream bug was NOT public. He could see it because he reported it. It might as well be now. (I just removed the security flag from it, so it is indeed public now). The patch he supplied (while a good start) was stated to be untested, and we also determi

I think the reporter's interpreation of the assembler code is incorrect. If the branch to ".LL9" is taken, the load which initializes "%g3" is executed. The annulment of the load only occurs if the branch is not taken, and for this snippet of code when the branch is not taken the ".LL9" label is

This was fixed incorrectly, and causes regressions. The sparcv9 optimized assembler routines are no longer enabled, amongst other things. The change should be flat out reverted. The error message originally reported in the build was due to a bug in Sparc binutils, it wasn't turning on multiply
