execshield inspection needed
by Kyle McMartin 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

x86-merge has kind of thrown a spanner in the execshield patchset. I've merged it up so it looks like it works, but I'd like to get some input from others to make sure I didn't brown-paper-bag it. The randomization bits seem to have been merged upstream, but I deferred to the execshield implementation since they had some differences. cheers, Kyle [linux-2.6-execshield.patch is attached.]

selinux patch
by Stephen Smalley 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, Could the patch below (already in Linus' git tree for 2.6.25) be added to the rawhide kernel? It is to support polyinstantiation by XACE/XSELinux. Gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=comm… Commit: 2e08c0c1c3977a5ddc88887dd3af1b26c433e9d0 Parent: 1996a10948e50e546dc2b64276723c0b64d3173b Author: Eamon Walsh <ewalsh(a)tycho.nsa.gov> AuthorDate: Thu Jan 24 15:30:52 2008 -0500 Committer: James Morris <jmorris(a)namei.org> CommitDate: Fri Jan 25 11:29:56 2008 +1100 selinux: make mls_compute_sid always polyinstantiate This patch removes the requirement that the new and related object types differ in order to polyinstantiate by MLS level. This allows MLS polyinstantiation to occur in the absence of explicit type_member rules or when the type has not changed. Potential users of this support include pam_namespace.so (directory polyinstantiation) and the SELinux X support (property polyinstantiation).

Hi! Description: The Linux kernel is prone to multiple memory access vulnerabilities, including: - A vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to read arbitrary memory locations. - A vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to write to arbitrary memory locations. An attacker can exploit these issues to read and write to arbitrary memory locations on the affected computer. This issue affects Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.24.1. Tested on current Fedora kernel (2.6.23.14-115.fc8) and it give me root! More informations and patches can be found at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27704/
