Description H.J. Lu 2013-12-07 03:31:34 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #708563 +++

After the bug fix for Bug #708563, load address in PIE
is ignored when ASLR is disabled:

[hjl@gnu-6 pie]$ cat foo2.c
#include <stdio.h>

char foo[132121799];

int
main ()
{
  foo[sizeof (foo) - 2] = -34;
  printf ("%p, %d\n", &main, foo[sizeof (foo) - 2]);
  return 0;
}
[hjl@gnu-6 pie]$ cc -fPIE -pie foo2.c  -Wl,-Ttext-segment=0x6ABC55000000
[hjl@gnu-6 pie]$ readelf -lW a.out

Comment 1 H.J. Lu 2013-12-07 03:33:10 UTC
A patch is sent to LKML and uploaded at

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=117741

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2013-12-09 14:38:32 UTC
Do you have a link to the LKML submission?  I can't seem to find the current one, just the one from 2 years ago.

Comment 3 H.J. Lu 2013-12-09 14:55:33 UTC
I sent it last Friday:

Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 12:51:56 -0800
From: "H.J. Lu" <hongjiu.lu>
To: linux kernel <linux-kernel.org>
Cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina>, Josh Boyer <jwboyer>, "H. Peter
        Anvin" <hpa>
Subject: [PATCH] binfmt_elf: fix PIE load with randomization disabled

and CCed to you.  Did it show up in your mailbox?

No, it did not.  It also isn't in my junk folders.  I can't find it on any of the LKML archive sites either.

I re-sent it from gmail.  Did you get it now?

Yes, thank you.

Comment 7 Josh Boyer 2013-12-09 21:06:49 UTC
This should really go upstream first.  We can bring the results of that back to whatever kernel F19 is on when that happens.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:48:25 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 19:34:02 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
