Subject: [PATCH 2/2] binfmt_elf: Leave a gap between .bss and brk
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 22:25:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240217062545.1631668-2-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240217062035.work.493-kees@kernel.org>

Currently the brk starts its randomization immediately after .bss,
which means there is a chance that when the random offset is 0, linear
overflows from .bss can reach into the brk area. Leave at least a single
page gap between .bss and brk (when it has not already been explicitly
relocated into the mmap range).

Reported-by: y0un9n132@gmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/CA+2EKTVLvc8hDZc+2Yhwmus=dzOUG5E4gV7ayCbu0MPJTZzWkw@mail.gmail.com/
