Summary
  • If TZ starts with TZDIR, strip any additional slashes so relname does not end up looking like an absolute path. For instance, TZ=/usr/share/zoneinfo//UTC should result in UTC, not /UTC.
  • In the setugid case, we were incorrectly passing name rather than relname to fstatat().
  • Modify the tz_env and tz_env_setugid test cases to exercise both of these scenarios.
  • Also add test cases for invalid values of TZ, which I wrote earlier but forgot to include in a5f14e4f9069.
