grsecurity forums

Hi.

I just noticed on the page comparing grsecurity to OpenBSD among other platforms, that OpenBSD fails many of the chroot tests. I have been unable to find much information on this, such as what tests were performed etc.

Could you give some more information, or point to a source of info? For example, if you used a simple break-out-of-chroot program, could you make said program available?

OpenBSD takes pride in being a secure operaing system, if there chroot implementation is easly broke out of, I would think this would be quite meaningfull, yet it has not been discussed anywhere I can find.

Thankyou.

i believe this is what was used in the tests: http://cvsweb.grsecurity.net/index.cgi/regression/
