Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/7] disable check for buggy brk implementations when SafeStack is enabled
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 15:36:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3f8d9836-e1ed-183c-5b51-e6407ad1fcff@intel.com> (raw)
The check relies on comparing the addresses of stack-allocated objects
to addresses returned by the brk syscall. Segmentation-hardened
SafeStack moves the allocations to heap locations, breaking the check.
This patch disables the check when segmentation-hardened SafeStack is
enabled.
