Subject: [PATCH] basic/user-util: always use base 10 for user/group numbers

We would parse numbers with base prefixes as user identifiers. For example,

"0x2b3bfa0" would be interpreted as UID==45334432 and "01750" would be

interpreted as UID==1000. This parsing was used also in cases where either a

user/group name or number may be specified. This means that names like

0x2b3bfa0 would be ambiguous: they are a valid user name according to our

documented relaxed rules, but they would also be parsed as numeric uids.

This behaviour is definitely not expected by users, since tools generally only

accept decimal numbers (e.g. id, getent passwd), while other tools only accept

user names and thus will interpret such strings as user names without even

attempting to convert them to numbers (su, ssh). So let's follow suit and only

accept numbers in decimal notation. Effectively this means that we will reject

such strings as a username/uid/groupname/gid where strict mode is used, and try

to look up a user/group with such a name in relaxed mode.

Since the function changed is fairly low-level and fairly widely used, this

affects multiple tools: loginctl show-user/enable-linger/disable-linger foo',

the third argument in sysusers.d, fourth and fifth arguments in tmpfiles.d,

etc.

Fixes #15985.

(cherry picked from commit 156a5fd297b61bce31630d7a52c15614bf784843)

Resolves: #1848373
