Subject: [PATCH 4/5] arm64: ascii armor the arm64 boot init stack canary
Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 15:57:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170524155751.424-5-riel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170524155751.424-1-riel@redhat.com>

From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

Use the ascii-armor canary to prevent unterminated C string overflows
from being able to successfully overwrite the canary, even if they
somehow obtain the canary value.

Inspired by execshield ascii-armor and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree.
