HardenedBSD to get NoExec
Obligatory link here.
It is always good seeing a project brought up to speed with modern security practices, especially one like FreeBSD (the authors of HardenedBSD hope to have their security patches merged upstream with FreeBSD). I appreciate work like this, honestly, I do. It goes without saying that OpenBSD has had this type of technology since release 3.3 (May, 2003), but hey, I'm happy to see the concept being adopted elsewhere.

While I'm happy to see this go forward, there is recent political trouble that may jeopardize any inclusion in FreeBSD:
http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-arch&m=142687547315822&w=2 (read the whole thread for context) I also very much disagree with the PaX model since it's an invitation to simply turn off all the protections. But that's a separate issue stemming from the fundamental design decisions at the beginning of the project. |
