LinuxSecurity.com: It was discovered that the floating point parser in OpenJDK, an implementation of the Java platform, can enter an infinite loop when processing certain input strings. Such input strings represent valid numbers and can be contained in data supplied by an attacker over the [More...]
fmod(3M) Mathematical Library Functions fmod(3M)NAME
fmod, fmodf, fmodl - floating-point remainder value function
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double fmod(double x, double y);
float fmodf(float x, float y);
long double fmodl(long double x, long double y);
DESCRIPTION
These functions return the floating-point remainder of the division of x by y.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return the value x - i * y, for some integer i such that, if y is non-zero, the result has the same sign as x and magnitude
less than the magnitude of y.
If x or y is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If y is 0, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.
If x is infinite, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0 and y is not 0, +-0 is returned.
If x is not infinite and y is +-Inf, x is returned.
ERRORS
These functions will fail if:
Domain Error The x argument is infinite or y is 0.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point exception is raised.
USAGE
An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if
fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should
either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.
