Description Johannes Segitz 2016-04-06 14:32:22 UTC

CVE-2016-3672

Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86 machine can disable the ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK resource to unlimited.

Details and (simple) fix are in 
http://hmarco.org/bugs/CVE-2016-3672-Unlimiting-the-stack-not-longer-disables-ASLR.html

Comment 1 Michal Hocko 2016-04-06 14:53:19 UTC

I remember there was a reason why the unlimited stack resulted in the legacy behavior. It had something to do with breakage of some applications. Do not remember any details. Jiri will remember probably.

Comment 2 Michal Hocko 2016-04-06 14:56:52 UTC

OK, this is what Ingo mentioned https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/11/116
He is not much more specific but considering this will be upstream I do not have strong objections to take it. If Jiri is OK with this I will port it to all affected branched.

Comment 4 Michal Hocko 2016-05-16 06:42:19 UTC

pushed to openSUSE-{13.2,42.1}
SLE12{-SP1}
SLE12-SP2

The backport gets more and more hairy[1] when we go deeper into the history. Is this really worth the effort for 3.0 based and older kernels? Especially considering that this has been the state-of-art for quite some time without too many reports from the field...

[1] 3.0 needs two more additional patch df54d6fa5427 and 41aacc1eea645 and maybe even more...

Comment 5 Bernhard Wiedemann 2016-05-19 08:00:28 UTC

This is an autogenerated message for OBS integration:
This bug (974308) was mentioned in
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/396719 42.1 / kernel-source

Comment 6 Michal Hocko 2016-06-06 07:17:40 UTC

Bounce back to the security team. As stated in comment 4, backport to 3.0 and older kernels is not really trivial and the security implications do no sound to justify a risky backport to LTSS branches. Let me know if you think otherwise, though.

Comment 7 Marcus Meissner 2016-06-07 08:45:09 UTC

Let us leave it out of the older (SLE11 and older), as they had less ASLR support than SLE12 anyway.
