Subject: libuuid: Make sure fd's 0, 1, and 2 are valid before exec'ing uuidd
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=59ca44715a317ee48afed34ca7ef1ab710ba5046;p=util-linux

libuuid: Make sure fd's 0, 1, and 2 are valid before exec'ing uuidd

When closing all of the file descriptors before starting uuidd, make
sure file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are reserved by opening /dev/null.
This prevents strange bugs caused by assumptions regarding file
descriptors <= 2 as being special.
