[Question] grsec / paxctld

[r3dlight]

Hi all,

I'm probably missing something here but why don't you use paxctld ? https://packages.debian.org/stretch/admin/paxctld

CONFIG_PAX_XATTR_PAX_FLAGS=y #CONFIG_PAX_PT_PAX_FLAGS is not set

No more PT_GNU_STACK overwriting, it reads flags from /etc/paxctld.conf and use xattr... in case you might want to update your binaries.

Cheers

Hi, we've been using pax-bites on Debian and Linux Mint a few years since we figured that XATTR is the stuff we need:

paxctld is an option indeed.
