--lymARMIdFDV9dylT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hey All, [NOTE: crossposting between freebsd-current@, freebsd-security@, and freebsd-stable@. Please forgive me if crossposting is frowned upon.] Address Space Layout Randomization, or ASLR for short, is an exploit mitigation technology. It helps secure applications against low-level exploits. A popular secure implementation is known as PaX ASLR, which is a third-party patch for Linux. Our implementation is based off of PaX's. Oliver Pinter, Danilo Egea, and I have been working hard to bring more features and robust stability to our ASLR patches. We've done extensive testing on amd64. We'd like to get as many people testing these patches. Given the nature of them, we'd also like as many eyeballs reviewing the code as well. I have a Raspberry Pi and have noticed a few bugs. On ARM (at least, on the RPI), when a parent forks a child, and the child gracefully exits, the parent segfaults with the pc register pointing to 0xc0000000. That address is always the same, no matter the application. If anyone knows the ARM architecture well, and how FreeBSD ties into it, I'd like a little guidance. I also have a sparc64 box, but I'm having trouble getting a vanilla 11-current system to be stable on it. I ought to file a few PRs. You can find links to the patches below.
