[PATCH 3/5] lib: add stackprotector support

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

 



GCC's "stack-protector" puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value
on the stack just before the return address, and validates the value just
before actually returning.  Stack based buffer overflows (that need to
overwrite this return address) now also overwrite the canary, which gets
detected and the attack is then neutralized via a barebox panic.

Unlike Linux, we do not add support for the regular stack protector, as
that relies on a heuristic to detect vulnerable functions, which is
greatly improved upon by the later added strong stack protector.

In return, we add a CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL option that's missing in
Linux: This turns out to be a nice way to find out, which functions lack
a __prereloc (or __no_stack_protector) annotation as every function will
access the canary and that fails if the function is called prior to
relocation. We don't give it a prompt though, because it's only
interesting for development.
