Subject: Re: [PATCH] Support LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2003 00:28:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031121221202.GV12344@sunsite.ms.mff.cuni.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20031121212053.GU12344@sunsite.ms.mff.cuni.cz>

Hi!

I think LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS shouldn't be honored for suid/sgid, as that way
a local attacker could disable randomization of a suid PIE and exploit it
more easily.  This patch is on top of the previously posted one.

	* elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Only honor LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS
	if !__libc_enable_secure.
