I've had a "partially-hardened" workstation for awhile now. I use |
| 2 |
hardened-sources and enable many of the PaX/grsecurity options including |
| 3 |
stack smashing protection. This works great as I can disable SEGMEXEC, |
| 4 |
PAGEEXEC and mprotect for Quake3 (ioquake3) and get it to run. My question |
| 5 |
is if I take my workstation to a full hardened system with SSP+PIE toolchain, |
| 6 |
etc. will I still be able to run Quake3 and other programs like it? If I |
| 7 |
went to a full Hardened Gentoo system, even if I disabled PaX's SEGMEXEC, |
| 8 |
PAGEXEC and mprotect, which is sufficient to run Quake3 now, the toolchains' |
| 9 |
own SSP would then kick in and stop me, right? |

I'm normally a test and do-it-myself kind of person, but I really don't want |
| 12 |
to have to recompile the system to find out and then recompile again if gcc's |
| 13 |
SSP/ProPolice does stop me. |

Side note: I masked gcc-4* and >=glibc-2.4 when they were stabled in x86. I |
| 16 |
still run gcc-3.4.6-r2 and glibc-2.3.6-r5 so switching to the hardened |
| 17 |
profile will not present any of those types of problems for me. |

Thank you for your help. |
