[PATCH] Fix offset2lib issue for x86*, ARM*, PowerPC and MIPS

[PATCH] Fix offset2lib issue for x86*, ARM*, PowerPC and MIPS

The issue appears on PIE linked executables when all memory areas of a process are randomized. In this case, the attack "offset2lib" de-randomizes all library areas on 64 bit Linux systems in less than one second.


Further details of the PoC attack at:
http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html


This patch loads the PIE linked executable in a different area than the libraries. The successful fix can be tested with a simple pie compiled application:


$ ./show_mmaps_pie

54859ced6000-54859ced7000 r--p ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie

7f75bed4d000-7f75bed4e000 rw-p ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
7f75bed4e000-7f75bed4f000 rw-p ...
7fffb3741000-7fffb3762000 rw-p ... [stack]
7fffb377b000-7fffb377d000 r--p ... [vvar]
7fffb377d000-7fffb377f000 r-xp ... [vdso]


Once corrected, the PIE linked application is loaded in a different area.
