[PATCH] ASLRv3: randomize_va_space=3 preventing offset2lib attack
The issue appears on PIE linked executables when all memory areas of
a process are randomized (randomize_va_space=2). 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
PIE linked applications are loaded side by side with the dynamic
libraries, which is exploited by the offset2lib attack. Moving away
the executable from the mmap_base area (libraries area) prevents the
attack.
This patch loads the PIE linked executable in a different area than
the libraries when randomize_va_space=3.
Patch implementation details:
- The ELF_ET_DYN_BASE address is used as the base to load randomly
the PIE executable.
- The executable image has the same entropy than
randomize_va_space=2.
If the randomize_va_space is set to 2 then this patch does not change
any behavior when loading new processes.
The patch has been tested on x86_64/32 and ARM/ARM64.
