Take
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/pre/library/Linux-PAM-0.99.3.0.tar.gz
compile it with
export CFLAGS="-fPIC -march=i586 -mtune=i586"
./configure [args...]; make
The resulted pam_lastlog.so module is wrong, there's an off-by-8-bytes bug
during a strncpy. However, if -O2 is also included amongst the CFLAGS, the
generated code is okay.
I attach the pam_lastlog.c file with two debug fprintf's inserted as well as
preprocessed source. The miscompiled part of the source is at line 278:
fprintf(stderr, "tl = %s\n", terminal_line); /* GCC BUG BELOW THIS LINE */
strncat(last_login.ll_line, terminal_line, sizeof(last_login.ll_line)-1);
fprintf(stderr, "ll = %s\n", last_login.ll_line); /* GCC BUG ABOVE THIS LINE */
Without -O2, the following is printed to stderr during a "su -":
tl = pts/2
ll = [EMAIL PROTECTED]/2
^^^^^^^^ this is 8 bytes of binary garbage, always different.
With -O2, strncat copies the string as expected:
tl = pts/2
ll = pts/2
