[Bug dynamic-link/20890] New: ldconfig: fsync the files before atomic rename


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20890

            Bug ID: 20890
           Summary: ldconfig: fsync the files before atomic rename
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dynamic-link
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---
             Flags: security-

ldconfig does not fsync the temporary files for the caches before renaming them
into the final place.  As a result, a crash at an inopportune moment can leave
corrupted crashes behind.
