Subject: [kernel-hardening] mmap guard pages
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 22:57:02 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110730185702.GA4667@albatros> (raw)
Solar,
What do you think about this?
http://www.openbsd.org/papers/ven05-deraadt/mgp00025.html
In short, each mmap call adds guard pages before and after the allocated
memory. It should catch overflows/underflows of mmap-based buffers.
AFAICS, it's possible to painlessly (in terms of vm waste) enable it on
x86-64.
Thanks,
