Hello,

The answer lies in the grsecurity forums.

You should take a look and try libsafe.

Hi guys,


I just patched a kernel 2.6.11.7 with grsec, and activated the PaX flags
below:

grsec:/usr/src/linux# cat .config | grep PAX | grep -v set CONFIG_PAX=y
CONFIG_PAX_SOFTMODE=y CONFIG_PAX_EI_PAX=y CONFIG_PAX_PT_PAX_FLAGS=y
CONFIG_PAX_NO_ACL_FLAGS=y CONFIG_PAX_NOEXEC=y CONFIG_PAX_PAGEEXEC=y
CONFIG_PAX_SEGMEXEC=y CONFIG_PAX_DEFAULT_SEGMEXEC=y CONFIG_PAX_MPROTECT=y
CONFIG_PAX_ASLR=y CONFIG_PAX_RANDKSTACK=y CONFIG_PAX_RANDUSTACK=y
CONFIG_PAX_RANDMMAP=y CONFIG_PAX_NOVSYSCALL=y

After the paxtest-0.9.5 I have 5 remaining vulnerablity:

ain executable randomisation (ET_EXEC)  : No randomisation
Return to function (strcpy)              : Vulnerable
Return to function (strcpy, RANDEXEC)    : Vulnerable
Return to function (memcpy)              : Vulnerable
Return to function (memcpy, RANDEXEC)    : Vulnerable

I read all documents on http://pax.grsecurity.net, but I don't understand
what is the cause of this?
What do I have to do for activating these 5 features?

Thank you....

Gabor Banszki
