For the last two weeks pappy@g.o has been working really hard on |
| 2 |
my sparc64 to bring transparent etdyn/propolice into a reality. I'm |
| 3 |
pleased to announce on his behalf that full Address Space Randomization |
| 4 |
Layouts (ASLR) is now achievable thus giving sparc admins the tools to |
| 5 |
prevent buffer/heap overflows and ret2libc style attacks on ~arch by |
| 6 |
preforming the following commands. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
# enable PaX/Grsecurity ASLR in your kernel then |
| 9 |
emerge sync |
| 10 |
emerge hardened-gcc ; # >=2.1.0 |
| 11 |
emerge clean |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# optionally |
| 14 |
emerge -eu world |
