Subject: [gentoo-hardened] about the recent ELF kernel bug

1 hi everyone,
2
3 Has anyone got a clue on how should the proof of concept code behave on
4 vulnerable and not vulnerable machines?
5
6 On a PaX+grsecurity hardened server, it outputs:
7
8 [+] ./elfcd1 argv_start=0xb47b23d4 argv_end=0xb47b23dc ESP: 0xb47b1890
9 [+] phase 1
10 [+] AAAA argv_start=0xb5e0442e argv_end=0xb5e04432 ESP: 0xb5e03930
11 [+] phase2, <RET> to crash Killed
12
13 and doesn't core-dump. Also it doesn't warn about the segmentation violation
14 process in the logs...
15
16 On my laptop, a test server and 2 other workstations (standard 2.6.11.5-8
17 kernels) results are consistent but different from the hardened server:
18 pjlv@archon test $ ./elfcd1
19
20 [+] ./elfcd1 argv_start=0xbfffeff7 argv_end=0xbfffefff ESP: 0xbfffedb0
21 [+] phase 1
22 [+] AAAA argv_start=0xbfff6fee argv_end=0xbfff6ff2 ESP: 0xbfff6e80
23 [+] phase 2, <RET> to crash Segmentation fault (core dumped)
24
25 and core-dumps.
26
27 any help? is the hardened server secure? I suppose so, since it didn't core
28 dump.
29
30 regards,
31 pedro venda.
