New Revision: 197711
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/197711
Log:
Add a mitigation feature that will prevent user mappings at
virtual address 0, limiting the ability to convert a kernel
NULL pointer dereference into a privilege escalation attack.
If the sysctl is set to 0 a newly started process will not be able
to map anything in the address range of the first page (0 to PAGE_SIZE).
This is the default. Already running processes are not affected by this.
You can either change the sysctl or the tunable from loader in case
you need to map at a virtual address of 0, for example when running
any of the extinct species of a set of a.out binaries, vm86 emulation, ..
In that case set security.bsd.map_at_zero="1".
