[gentoo-hardened] 2.6.27-hardened-r8: assassination

[Alex Efros <powerman@powerman.asdfgroup.com>]

Hi!

It's ~6am here and I'm too tired to file new bugs, I wanna sleep a little first.

While in general Gentoo "stable" branch is very stable, shit always happens.
This time is was upgrade from 2.6.26-hardened-r9 to 2.6.27-hardened-r8. 

First issue: many perl scripts (including FastCGI servers) failed to start
with segmentation fault. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261357
for details and ugly workarounds.

Second issue: apache failed to start with segmentation fault. As I said,
I'll file bugs later, but in short it's trouble with Ioncube and
ZendOptimizer. I had to switch off both to run apache. I've no idea how it
may be possible to workaround this without doing paxctl -m on apache.


For now I just rollback to previous kernel (I think that will be more
secure than paxctl -m for apache, plus I afraid new kernel may do other
nasty things too).


Resume: this upgrade kill both perl and apache. :(
