Summary: DRI libs relocation problems on hardened systems
Product: DRI
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libGL
AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On hardened systems (Such as Hardened Linux From Scratch) the Pax kernel patches
provide an option CONFIG_PAX_NOELFRELOCS, which does what it says on the tin,
and you can't relocate elf executables. The DRI faile under X-6.9.0 with (from
memory)
"Error loading shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
Error opening shared library for relocation: Permission denied"
I am attaching a check of the X libraries. I went to some trouble to try a
precompiled libGL.so (from common-20051220-linux-i386/) and a correctly compiled
version from Xorg-6.9.0 I checked, and got these relocations
TEXTREL in exe /usr/X11R6/lib/dri-old.libGL.so.1.2
TEXTREL in exe /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
TEXTREL library /usr/local/lib/libGL.so.1 exec /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3
TEXTREL in exe /usr/X11R6/lib/libOSMesa.so.4.0
TEXTREL library /usr/local/lib/libGL.so.1 exec /usr/X11R6/lib/libOSMesa.so.4.0
On my system,dri-old.libGL.so.1.2 is the precompiled one from common-20051220,
and the other is from Xorg-6.9.0. Precompiled stuff will never work on hardened
systems, BTW. They really need no compile their own software.
The other dri archive in the frame is radeon-20051220
