I'd love to see this as easily enabled in mainstream distros like Debian. Perhaps by being incorporated into the major libraries? Memory safety problems are a huge problem and this looks like it would counter many of the heap related ones. Thoughts?
- Seirdy 4y agoThe devs are especially interested in a distribution of musl with hardened_malloc integrated for easy static linking. Until then, LD_PRELOAD is your friend (assuming you build with semantic interposition).
- _8j50 4y agoLD_PRELOAD is my enemy! It's a glibc thing rootkits like to abuse. I know there are legit uses for it but it has no place in a hardened environment. How taboo is it to just patch glibc and maintain it your own repo? Or even make it public.
