project: Finally someone decided to attack the Buffer Overflow
exploits by going directly to the root of the problem.
From
Slashdot :
It features PaX, a kernel patch which does several
things. It tries to keep code and data apart, it randomizes stack,
code, heap and shared libraries, it does strict mprotect() checking
and it also protects the kernel. Trusted Debian also uses the stack
protector patch for GCC developed by Hiroaki Etoh at IBM, which
adds overflow checks to C/C++ code. It also features FreeS/WAN and
RSBAC, an extensive access control framework.
And, also from Slashdot,
an interesting comment:
Please note that Gentoo Linux also
comes with a propolice enabled GCC and a PaX-enabled kernel. It’s
up to you to use them or not.
