[patch 69/96] sh64: ascii armor the sh64 boot init stack canary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: sh64: ascii armor the sh64 boot init stack canary

Use the ascii-armor canary to prevent unterminated C string overflows from
being able to successfully overwrite the canary, even if they somehow
obtain the canary value.

Inspired by execshield ascii-armor and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree.
