I'm removing the security severity on this issue. calling it in a setarch -3 <command> wrapper should turn off randomization for that app only. Alternatively, calling personality(PER_LINUX32) will turn off randomization too (on x86). This bug can probably be closed. Not only is it ancient, but I ultimately solved it by lowering the address of the Informix shared memory segment that I was attaching to. This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase. During the maintenance phase, only security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released for enterprise products. Since this bug does not meet that criteria, it is now being closed. For more information of the RHEL errata support policy, please visit: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ If you feel this bug is indeed mission critical, please contact your support representative. You may be asked to provide detailed information on how this bug is affecting you. |
