From 5ea30e4e58040cfd6434c2f33dc3ea76e2c15b05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Micay Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 09:32:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] stackprotector: Increase the per-task stack canary's random range from 32 bits to 64 bits on 64-bit platforms The stack canary is an 'unsigned long' and should be fully initialized to random data rather than only 32 bits of random data.
