`read' can hit its timeout before it gets a chance to save the current signal mask so sigprocmask can end up restoring an uninitialized prevset. (Also all the sigprocmask calls other than the one in the jmp target are protected by `#if defined (SIGCHLD)' so I guess this one should be too)
Found by running the test suite on a build with clang's MemorySanitizer enabled. There were only two other reports, both from quite recent additions, so I'll just mention them here: * anonopen doesn't set *fn if memfd_create is used so uw_anonclose frees an uninitialized pointer value later * convert_validarray_flags_to_arrayval_flags doesn't initialize avflags --- diff --git a/builtins/read.def b/builtins/read.def index cb4e1e59..ecfb3d4a 100644 --- a/builtins/read.def +++ b/builtins/read.def @@ -428,6 +428,7 @@ read_builtin (WORD_LIST *list) sigemptyset (&chldset); sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, (sigset_t *)0, &chldset); sigaddset (&chldset, SIGCHLD); + sigprocmask (SIG_SETMASK, (sigset_t *)0, &prevset); #endif begin_unwind_frame ("read_builtin"); @@ -495,7 +496,9 @@ read_builtin (WORD_LIST *list) if (code) { reset_timeout (); +#if defined (SIGCHLD) sigprocmask (SIG_SETMASK, &prevset, (sigset_t *)0); +#endif /* Tricky.
