Hi,

can anyone provide a working patch for 2.6.14 for testing ?

:-)

)

Time for another stable grsec release ?

Thx for your good work

i think kernel 2.6.15 will be released before grsec on 2.6.14 will be stable

just look at what happened to the 2.6.13 patch

so i guess the most realistic target is getting the stable patch for 2.6.13.4, afaik 2.6.14 doesnt fix any major security issues...

2.6.14 is released as latest stable kernel.

im trusting this so far.

the last known good grsec release is for 2.6.11.12 and i think 2.6.14 is some good steps ahead ...

btw im also available for cvs testing, but latest spender patch is from 19-10-2005 ..... and it isnt working on 2.6.14

;-)

Yeah, I'm using it now. Works well for me.

Thanks Blueroot

In my kernel hangs kernel on this new patch while starting (signal 11 in log).
Previous (2.6.13.2) works well. Nothing changed in kernel config or in grsecurity config in my case. So I'll wait for stable.

Interesting, 2.6.13.4 would freeze on boot for me, but 2.6.14 has been working without any issues.

This is rather odd, Gaim isn't able to find the protocol plugin while using 2.6.14 with grsecurity-2.1.7-2.6.14-200510291211.patch ...Any ideas?

Oh, and no errors in syslog, messages or secure

Update: Went back to 2.6.13.1 w/ GRSec patch, no problems with gaim.
Weird [bug]?

Has PAX changed anything since the 2.6.13.1 GRSec patch?

can you produce strace -f outputs please (both for the working and non-working kernels)? they will probably be big, so better put them on a website, or maybe email them to me directly (especially if it contains some sensitive info, check it first).

by **tuxq** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 1:29 pm

Sure. Give me a few minutes.

Update: Sent to your e-mail, PaX

I tried this patch with a working 2.6.14 kernel, it hangs, I didnt enable much I wanted to see how well it would work. pax is unchecked, very little under grsecurity is enabled...

Last couple lines:
CFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unsused kernel memory: 340k freed

and thats it.. doesnt get to the init
