Subject: Re: ldd not working on ET_EXEC executables
You mean RANDMMAP? PaX's RANDMMAP feature ignoring the address your requesting it (without MAP_FIXED) is perfectly valid, to quote POSIX:
"When MAP_FIXED is not set, the implementation uses addr in an implementation-defined manner to arrive at pa."
mmap2(0x10000, 73728, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x1234abcd
You're not passing MAP_FIXED to mmap() but are expecting the kernel to still use the address you're giving it, which is wrong.
(as a side note, glibc works and it uses MAP_FIXED)
Thanks,
