Hi everyone,
All kernels before Sept 14 are vulnerable to the "IA32 Syscall Entry
Point Privilege Escalation" and "IA32 Emulation Stack Underflow". See
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337645
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337659
Also see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326885#c10
As a result, certain configurations of hardened-sources are also
vulnerable. As a work around until I get the fix into the tree and fast
track stabilization, keep the following in mind:
1) Whether hardened or not, if you don't have CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION, the
exploits fail.
2) If you hide kernel symbols in /proc/kallsyms, the proof-of-concept
code won't work. You can do that by either not enabling CONFIG_KALLSYMS
on non-hardened kernels, or just set CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_HIDESYM=y on
hardened.
(However, there may still be ways of making the exploit work even
without symbol info.)
3) On hardened systems, if you enable CONFIG_PAX_MEMORY_UDEREF=y, the
exploits fail even with access to symbol info. If possible, I would
also recommend enabling CONFIG_PAX_KERNEXEC=y.

Thank you for this note, Anthony!
1. Will hardened-sources be distributed via the tree, or via an overlay?
(IIRC, I got 2.6.34-r5 via the overlay, then it disappeared)
2. Same question about gcc; will hardened gcc come to us via an overlay?
(I see an update to 4.4.4-r2; IIRC I got 4.4.4-r1 via overlay).
TIA

The overlay should not be used for anything anymore. Its around only
for reference. (Zorry and I may want to look back at stuff we did.)
In about a day or so you should see hardened-sources-2.6.32-r18.ebuild
and hardened-sources-2.6.34-r6.ebuild appear in portage. Use one of
those two.

All the hardened overlay work is in the tree now

Thanks for the feedback about the sources.
What about the toolchain? What are the gcc, binutils and glibc versions
supported? What versions of the toolchain components advised for the brave
folk?
Thx:
Dw.
