From: Kees Cook Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2024 06:25:44 +0000 (-0800) Subject: binfmt_elf: Leave a gap between .bss and brk X-Git-Tag: v6.10-rc1~217^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2a5eb9995528441447d33838727f6ec1caf08139;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git binfmt_elf: Leave a gap between .bss and brk Currently the brk starts its randomization immediately after .bss, which means there is a chance that when the random offset is 0, linear overflows from .bss can reach into the brk area. Leave at least a single page gap between .bss and brk (when it has not already been explicitly relocated into the mmap range).
