>Description:
In debugging a problem with Go calling execve(2), it appears that the actual
bug is in the FreeBSD kernel implementation in imgact_shell. Specifically, it
is entirely valid for argv[0] to be longer than the length of the path (treated
as "fname" in this function). We have a workaround in Go, but this should be
fixed in the kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
Russ Cox wrote a quick to demonstrate the issue:
$ cat execve.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv, char **environ)
{
execve(argv[1], argv+2, environ);
perror("execve");
return 1;
}
$ cat shellscript
#!/bin/echo
$ gcc execve.c
$ cp /bin/ls .
$ ./a.out ls /bogus/ls
a.out execve.c ls shellscript
$ ./a.out shellscript asdf
shellscript
$ ./a.out shellscript /bogus/shellscript
shellscript
$ ./a.out shellscript /bin/echo-shellscript
shellscript
$ ./a.out shellscript /bin/echo-shellscript1
execve: Argument list too long
