[PATCH v1] Arm64: ASLR: fix text randomization

Arun Chandran achandran at mvista.com
Tue Oct 7 05:40:28 PDT 2014


This is due to incorrect definition of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. It
introduces randomization for text even if user does a "echo 0 >
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space"

This can be tested using the code below

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
    printf("main = %p\n", main);
    return 0;
}

* compile it possition independently 
  aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -fPIE -pie aslr.c -o aslr

* run it on the target

	# ./aslr
	main = 0x7f87138950
	# ./aslr
	main = 0x7f94a10950
	# ./aslr
	main = 0x7f94fee950
	# ./aslr text
	main = 0x7f8cb72950

	# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space 
	# ./aslr text
	main = 0x5555555950
	# ./aslr 
	main = 0x5555555950
	# ./aslr 
	main = 0x5555555950
	# ./aslr 
	main = 0x5555555950
