Pratt <anarchy@gentoo.org> + +COMPAT_VDSO is inappropriate for any modern Hardened Gentoo system. It +conflicts with various parts of PaX, crashing the system if enabled +while PaX's NOEXEC or UDEREF features are active. Moreover, it prevents +a number of important PaX options from appearing in the configuration +menu, including all PaX NOEXEC implementations. Unfortunately, the +reason for the disappearance of these PaX configuration options is +often far from obvious to inexperienced users. + +Therefore, we disable the COMPAT_VDSO menu entry entirely. However, +COMPAT_VDSO operation can still be enabled via bootparam and sysctl +interfaces. Consequently, we must also disable the ability to select +COMPAT_VDSO operation at boot or runtime. Here we patch the kernel so +that selecting COMPAT_VDSO operation at boot/runtime has no effect if +conflicting PaX options are enabled, leaving VDSO_ENABLED operation +intact. + +Closes bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210138 + +diff -urp a/arch/x86/Kconfig b/arch/x86/Kconfig +--- a/arch/x86/Kconfig 2009-07-31 01:36:57.323857684 +0100 ++++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig 2009-07-31 01:51:39.395749681 +0100 +@@ -2087,29 +2087,8 @@ + + config COMPAT_VDSO + def_bool n +- prompt "Disable the 32-bit vDSO (needed for glibc 2.3.3)" + depends on X86_32 || IA32_EMULATION + depends on !PAX_PAGEEXEC && !PAX_SEGMEXEC && !PAX_KERNEXEC && !PAX_MEMORY_UDEREF +- ---help--- +- Certain buggy versions of glibc will crash if they are +- presented with a 32-bit vDSO that is not mapped at the address +- indicated in its segment table. +- +- The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a +- and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and +- 49ad572a70b8aeb91e57483a11dd1b77e31c4468.
