A normal Linux kernel leaves the control to the application and does not implement any enforcement. Especially buffer overflow attacks benefit from the absense of kernel enforced memory control. PaX tries to do its best to enforce this control of memory used by applications, thereby making it harder to succesfully exploit buffer overflows. . Furthermore, it adds several randomisations, which also make it harder for buffer overflows to succeed. . The test programs test all this functionality, but not all PaX functionality is covered. . For more information about PaX, see http://pageexec.virtualave.net/. Notice this will be the original paxtest package developed by Peter with some (slight) changes.

Bug#222463: RFP: syrep -- a generic file repository synchronization tool
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: syrep Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : me, mzflerc (at) 0pointer (dot) de * URL : http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/syrep/ * License : GPL Description : a generic file repository synchronization tool syrep is a generic file repository synchronization tool. It may be used to synchronize large file hierarchies bidirectionally by exchanging patch files. Syrep is truely peer-to-peer, no central servers are involved. Synchronizations between more than two repositories are supported. The patch files may be transferred via offline media, e.g. removable hard disks or compact discs. Files are tracked by their message digests, currently MD5. The following file operations are tracked in the snapshot files: creation, deletion, modification, creation of new hard or symbolic links, renaming. (The latter is nothing more than a new hard link and removal of the old file). syrep doesn't distuinguish between soft and hard links. In fact even copies of files are treated as the same. Currently, syrep doesn't synchronize file attributes like access modes or modification times. Syrep was written to facilitate the synchronization of two large digital music repositories without direct network connection. Patch files of several gigabytes are common in this situation. Syrep is able to cope with 64 bit file sizes. (LFS) Syrep is optimized for speed. It may make use of a message digest cache to accelerate the calculation of digests of a whole directory hierarchy. Syrep is under active development, release 0.2 is proven to be stable during three months of testing. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux whiskey 2.4.22 #1 Sa Sep 13 01:50:32 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#170719: Jikes RVM depends on non-free software to be built
I asked on [EMAIL PROTECTED] about building JRVM using itself. This is the answer I got from David P Grove (groved at us.ibm.com): Hi, It should be possible for Jikes RVM to bootstrap itself, but it will probably take a little bit of work to make it happen. I think the main issues are going to be (1) setting up the classloaders in such a way that we can tell apart the VM that is running from the VM that is building and (2) doing the 'right thing' with the subset of VM_Magic operations that need to have different interpretations at bootstrapping time. The classpath libraries should be sufficient, so it might be easier to try with a different VM that uses the classpath libraries first. Bootstrapping Jikes RVM is a fairly severe stress test for a JVM. It has a very good record of finding bugs in various product JVMs. I know that Mark Wielaard made a very quick attempt to bootstrap Jikes RVM on kaffe a month or two ago that caused kaffe to crash and burn very early in our build process. In theory, one should be able to use gcj/gij to bootstrap Jikes RVM as well. I suspect the issue there is going to be that our build scripts assume something like a standard JDK in terms of command lines, etc. Probably fixable, but might take more work. If I were going to try to do this, I would probably spend some time trying to bootstrap on kaffe or gcj/gij first just to try to work out any issues with the classpath libraries. Then once that was working, try self hosting and work out the issues I mentioned in the first paragraph. If backed into a corner and forced to make a wild guess, I would size this as a 1-2 week effort by someone who was fairly familiar with either Jikes RVM or with kaffe/gcj to either (1) make it happen or (2) discover some hidden nasty that I'm not thinking of off the top of my head. --dave Cheers //Johan
