A normal Linux kernel leaves the control to the - application and does not implement any enforcement. Especially buffer overflow - attacks benefit from the absense of kernel enforced memory control. PaX tries - to do its best to enforce this control of memory used by applications, thereby - making it harder to succesfully exploit buffer overflows. - - Furthermore, it adds several randomisations, which also make it harder for - buffer overflows to succeed. - - The test programs test all this functionality, but not all PaX functionality - is covered. - - For more information about PaX, see http://pageexec.virtualave.net/. - </longdescription> -</pkgmetadata> |
