    CVE-2013-4237, BZ #14699: Buffer overflow in readdir_r
    
    	* sysdeps/posix/dirstream.h (struct __dirstream): Add errcode
    	member.
    	* sysdeps/posix/opendir.c (__alloc_dir): Initialize errcode
    	member.
    	* sysdeps/posix/rewinddir.c (rewinddir): Reset errcode member.
    	* sysdeps/posix/readdir_r.c (__READDIR_R): Enforce NAME_MAX limit.
    	Return delayed error code.  Remove GETDENTS_64BIT_ALIGNED
    	conditional.
    	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/readdir_r.c: Do not define
    	GETDENTS_64BIT_ALIGNED.
    	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/readdir64_r.c: Likewise.
    	* manual/filesys.texi (Reading/Closing Directory): Document
    	ENAMETOOLONG return value of readdir_r.  Recommend readdir more
    	strongly.
    	* manual/conf.texi (Limits for Files): Add portability note to
    	NAME_MAX, PATH_MAX.
    	(Pathconf): Add portability note for _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_PATH_MAX.

+This function is a version of @code{readdir} which performs internal

+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+On systems which do not define @code{NAME_MAX}, it may not be possible
+to use @code{readdir_r} safely because the caller does not specify the
+length of the buffer for the directory entry.
+
+@item
+On some systems, @code{readdir_r} cannot read directory entries with
+very long names.  If such a name is encountered, @theglibc{}
+implementation of @code{readdir_r} returns with an error code of
+@code{ENAMETOOLONG} after the final directory entry has been read.  On
+other systems, @code{readdir_r} may return successfully, but the
+@code{d_name} member may not be NUL-terminated or may be truncated.
+
+@item
+POSIX-1.2008 does not guarantee that @code{readdir} is thread-safe,
+even when access to the same @var{dirstream} is serialized.  But in
+current implementations (including @theglibc{}), it is safe to call
+@code{readdir} concurrently on different @var{dirstream}s, so there is
+no need to use @code{readdir_r} in most multi-threaded programs.  In
+the rare case that multiple threads need to read from the same
+@var{dirstream}, it is still better to use @code{readdir} and external
+synchronization.
+
+@item
+It is expected that future versions of POSIX will obsolete
+@code{readdir_r} and mandate the level of thread safety for
+@code{readdir} which is provided by @theglibc{} and other
+implementations today.
