[PATCH] seteuid.2: glibc implements seteuid calling setresuid, not setreuid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Analogously with set*gid.

This has been the case since more than two decades, e.g.:

  Update.

          * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/seteuid.c (seteuid): Use setresuid32
          syscall directly if possible.  If __ASSUME_SETRESUID_SYSCALL is
          defined drop compatibility code.
  [...]

The change in implementation from setreuid/setregid is also
already mentioned two paragraphs earlier in the same man page.

Fixes: a36b2bb0eca4 ("seteuid.2: seteuid() and setegid() are implemented as library functions")
Fixes: 8554dd0324b0 ("seteuid.2: tfix")
