From a014cecd82b71b70a6a843e250e06b541ad524f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Weimer Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:23:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Always enable pointer guard [BZ #18928] Honoring the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable in AT_SECURE mode has security implications. This commit enables pointer guard unconditionally, and the environment variable is now ignored. [BZ #18928] * sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (struct rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard member. * elf/rtld.c (_rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard initializer. (security_init): Always set up pointer guard. (process_envvars): Do not process LD_POINTER_GUARD.
