Hi everyone, Recently I have been going over a bunch of the documents in openbsd.org/papers in order to write an overview of the security features in OpenBSD for school.
I have a small question concerning the malloc G option. Theo basically says this in slide: (http://www.openbsd.org/papers/ven05-deraadt/mgp00028.html) ------------------------------------------------- [...SNIP...] malloc.conf 'G' option: [...SNIP...] Cannot enabled by default yet. Maybe never, but we will see. ----------------------------------------------- This was written in 2005 (2 years ago). I installed 4.0 and read through the man page of malloc, and I didn't find any indication that the G option is enabled by default yet (couldn't find the answer on google either). My question is the following: Is there any plans to enable the guard page feature of malloc ('G' option) in the future? Is so any timetable? Thank you for your time, Jd
