Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ELF interpretor info: align and add random padding
Hi,
The following patches are mostly focused on ensuring AT_RANDOM array is
aligned on 16bytes boundary, and while being located at a pseudo-random
offset on stack (at most 256 bytes).
This patchset also insert a random sized (at most 15 bytes) padding between
AT_RANDOM and AT_PLATFORM and/or AT_BASE_PLATFORM.
It also insert a random sized padding (at most 256 bytes) between those
data and the arrays passed to userspace (argv[] + environ[] + auxv[])
as defined by ABI.
Adding random padding around AT_RANDOM, AT_PLATFORM, AT_BASE_PLATEFORM
should be viewed as an exercise of cargo-cult security as I'm not aware
of any attack that can be prevented with this mechanism in place.
Regards.
