I really hope it will. AFAIK OpenBSD implemented this in late 2002 when 3.2 was released. I can see why FreeBSD doesn't want software protection of the stack on systems like ia32, but on ia64 we have hardware support, so why not be able to build a kernel with stack (and heap?) protection? > http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/buildfreebsd.html > > The patch should be for 5.x in general, I don't use it anymore since some > ports will break, if you play with it you can disable it by default and > enable it explicit when you are willing to compile a binary with it. Ok thanks, but I was looking for a kernel level patch. Btw which ports will break? br db _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
