missing kernel features in ARM

Filed under: Debian,Security,Ubuntu — kees @ 10:38 pm

As more attention is given to the ARM ports of Linux, I’m hoping someone (maybe me if I learn a bunch) will be able to implement some upstream kernel features that are implemented only on x86 so far:

  • ASLR of mmap allocations
  • ASLR of text/exec area
  • ASLR of vdso
  • ASLR of brk area

Stack is already randomized, it should be easy to do the rest! ;)
