[PATCH 0/5] malloc: add options to zero-initialize buffers

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

 



TO further harden barebox against attackers, add options to zero
registers on function exit, buffers on malloc and after free as well as
local variables.

Additionally, TLSF already has sanity checks, which are promoted to
panics with CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION enabled.

Ahmad Fatoum (5):
  dlmalloc: add aliases with dl as prefix
  hardening: support zeroing all malloc buffers by default
  hardening: support initializing stack variables by default
  kbuild: support register zeroing on function exit
  tlsf: panic in asserts if CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION=y
