From bf9eb5443844e288b73f7963dfc67a0d2fbc3849 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:36:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: ascii armor the x86_64 boot init stack canary Use the ascii-armor canary to prevent unterminated C string overflows from being able to successfully overwrite the canary, even if they somehow obtain the canary value. Inspired by execshield ascii-armor and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree.
