kernel: provide PID randomization and enable it by default
Last modified: 2016-05-27 15:49:48 EDT
It would be nice if the kernel could randomize PID (and TID) values by default. We could use a random TIDs to support mutex hardening in glibc, detecting overwritten mutexes before using data in them in ways that could further corrupt the running process in an attacker-controlled way.
This discussion needs to happen upstream.
Can you please post a link(s) to upstream discussion(s)?
