    CVE-2014-8121: Do not close NSS files database during iteration [BZ #18007]
    
    Robin Hack discovered Samba would enter an infinite loop processing
    certain quota-related requests.  We eventually tracked this down to a
    glibc issue.
    
    Running a (simplified) test case under strace shows that /etc/passwd
    is continuously opened and closed:
    
    â?¦
    open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
    read(3, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717
    lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET)                = 2717
    close(3)                                = 0
    open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
    lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET)                   = 0
    read(3, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717
    lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET)                = 2717
    close(3)                                = 0
    open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
    â?¦
    
    The lookup function implementation in
    nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c:DB_LOOKUP has code to prevent that.  It is
    supposed skip closing the input file if it was already open.
    
      /* Reset file pointer to beginning or open file.  */			      \
      status = internal_setent (keep_stream);				      \
    									      \
      if (status == NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS)					      \
        {									      \
          /* Tell getent function that we have repositioned the file pointer.  */ \
          last_use = getby;							      \
    									      \
          while ((status = internal_getent (result, buffer, buflen, errnop	      \
    					H_ERRNO_ARG EXTRA_ARGS_VALUE))	      \
    	     == NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS)					      \
    	{ break_if_match }						      \
    									      \
          if (! keep_stream)						      \
    	internal_endent ();						      \
        }									      \
    
    keep_stream is initialized from the stayopen flag in internal_setent.
    internal_setent is called from the set*ent implementation as:
    
      status = internal_setent (stayopen);
    
    However, for non-host database, this flag is always 0, per the
    STAYOPEN magic in nss/getXXent_r.c.
    
    Thus, the fix is this:
    
    -  status = internal_setent (stayopen);
    +  status = internal_setent (1);
    
    This is not a behavioral change even for the hosts database (where the
    application can specify the stayopen flag) because with a call to
    sethostent(0), the file handle is still not closed in the
    implementation of gethostent.
