paxtest on 64bit

[cormander]

Hello,

The paxtest suite doesn't compile on 64bit (I'm using a fedora 10 machine). I get the error below:

make -f Makefile.psm
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/paxtest-0.9.7-pre6'

I'm using the paxtest-0.9.7-pre6 package.

This has been a problem for quite some time. I'm most interested now in getting it to work, however, because I'm implementing an auto-regression testing system for grsecurity. As it stands right now in my environment, after the kernel is compiled, it gets launched inside a XEN virtual machine and test are kicked off. Right now it's just the grsecurity regression tests, and I'd like to add paxtest into here as well.

Each time I rebuild the kernel, code update or not, these tests happen. I imagine this will become more useful as time goes on and the internals of the kernel change, it'll automatically shout out when a test that has been previously working starts to fail.

As far as the PAX test are concerned, my understanding of the code in these tests is limited and as I learn more I'll write more tests. Soon I'll be picking up where I left off on a test suite for the RBAC system.

Any help to get paxtest to work on a 64bit compiler would be greatly appreciated.

I've uploaded a -pre7 version that should work properly. It's running fine here on RHEL 5.4 x64.

Thanks, that did the trick!

By the way, you say "randomisation" when it's spelled " randomization"

Just in case you were interested, the results from the test:

And the test ran on vanilla of the same version:

So the first 5 tests are also killed on a vanilla kernel. Is this a recent change?

i think it's a UK/US spelling thing, and Peter Busser just preferred one over the other .

IIRC, the amd64 ABI has always mandated non-exec stacks (by default, that is), i forget about the heap now but i think its default access rights have been this way for long too.

A new problem for 32bit:

I did this to fix it:

cd chpax-0.7/
make clean

You included pre-compiled 64bit .o files in the chpax directory

Sorry, if I am asking the obvious: Where can I find paxtest-0.9.7-pre7? It is neither here: http://pax.grsecurity.net/ nor here: http://www.grsecurity.net/~paxguy1/.

I would like to test how secure a stock ubuntu karmic x64 is.

[spender]

The versions I make are located in http://grsecurity.net/~spender
The current one is 0.9.9.

Thank you very much. Compilation succeeded for 'make linux64'. The results are not too motivating (for keeping the stock ubuntu kernel) - I post here, if this is of relevance.

Can the versions in your home be considered releases? I wonder, because paxtest at least in gentoo and ubuntu is rather outdated and I'd like to change that, or at least help to change that.

paxtest hasn't really been released for a long time (we just happen to have more important things to care about usually), so spender's or my (depending on who hacked on it last) homedirectory is what you can consider the latest developer snapshot. we'll eventually get to a normal release, i just can't tell you now when exactly (paxtest is in some of redesign/rewrite these days, we have many more archs than x86 to support, not to mention an eventual kernel mode testsuite as well).
