jEdit - linked to "resource limits" or "java

[Meths]

Hi,

I'm getting the following messages when trying to run jedit:

Dec 31 15:10:21 hyperion kernel: PAX: terminating task: /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/bin/java(java):913, uid/euid: 1000/1000, EIP: 22E90344, ESP: 5CB3265C

I tried changing the chpax options on java_vm to no avail. When I try and chpax -v java it tells me it is an unknown file type.

What is happening to cause the errors and how do I solve it? I'm running debian stable with 2.4.20 and grsecurity1.9.8rc2.

TIA

Oh, and at the moment everything in /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/ set to 0 and no ACLs.

it's the non-executable feature killing java (it has some FPU initialization code in the .data segment. when you tried to chpax 'java', did you mean /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/bin/java or something else (former should be an ELF file and chpax should be able to work on it)? the RLIMIT_CORE message is due to the fact that PaX also tries to dump core (useful if one wants to analyze the circumstances of real exploit attempts) and apparently your core file size limit is set to 0.

Thanks. The -p did it, but after the -s. I noticed this in another topic that when you disable seg-based page exec it reads page based page exec as enabled when it was disabled before. Is this going to be fixed?

Yeah I was talking about another java but that was my mistake, nothing to worry about.

fixed (will report enabled/overridden as appropriate), you can grab the new chpax from the PaX site. happy new year to everyone .
