Topic: PaX (Linux)


  
 PaX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PaX also cannot block some format string bug based attacks, which may allow arbitrary reading from and writing to data locations in memory using already existing code; the attacker does not need to know any internal addresses or inject any code into a program to execute these types of attacks.
PaX flags data memory as non-executable and program memory as non-writable, and randomly arranges the program memory.
PaX offers executable space protections, using (or emulating in operating system software) the functionality of an NX bit (i.e., built-in CPU/MMU support for memory contents execution privilege tagging).

 Linux: pax
pax will write to standard output a table of contents of the members of the archive file read from standard input, whose pathnames match the specified patterns.
pax extracts the members of the archive file read from the standard input, with pathnames matching the specified patterns.
When pax is in the write or copy mode, the optional trailing field [c][m] can be used to determine which file time (inode change, file modification or both) are used in the comparison.

 pax.1
Otherwise, pax stores all information available with other archive formats in extended zip file headers, so if archive portability is of no concern, the zip implementation in pax can archive complete Unix file hierarchies.
The implementation of pax is limited to expanded numerical fields and long file names; in particular, there is no support for sparse files or incremental backups.
The pax format is an extension to the ustar format.

 Hacks From Pax: Linux File & Directory Permissions Mistakes - The Community's Center for Security
Pax Dickinson has over ten years of experience in systems administration and software development on a wide variety of hardware and software platforms.
One common mistake Linux administrators make is having file and directory permissions that are far too liberal and allow access beyond that which is needed for proper system operations.
In fact, because of their insecurity, modern versions of Linux do not allow their use and will not respect the suid or sgid bits on shell scripts.

Gotcha: the basic problem is that in C lots of functions use the return value to indicate error and to return valuable data.
A good summary of the PaX vs no-exec problem with a lot of links to useful information.
The Linux 2.6 kernel introduced a new feature that speeds up or simplifies certain operations, such as system calls or returns from signal handlers…The so-called vsyscall page exists in every task at the same fixed address and it contains machine code that is very useful in performing the return-to-libc style attack…

 PaX Linux Kernel 2.6 Patches DoS Advisory
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode.
A bug in versions of the Linux kernel prior to Version 2.4.23 allows users on a Linux machine to gain unlimited access privileges, according to an advisory from developers of the Debian Linux distribution.
Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual.

The purpose of the feature is + to help Linux distribution developers get rid of libraries and + binaries that need text relocations which hinder the future progress + of PaX.
While protecting against + the former approach is beyond PaX, the latter can be prevented + by having only PIC ELF libraries on one's system (which do not + need to relocate their code).

 PaX - Gentoo Linux Wiki
Pax is a kernel level memory protection system for Linux.
This separation goes as far as to assure that memory may not be written to before it is executed, except by the kernel as a part of loading an executable segment into memory.
This also prevents attackers from discovering the location of the GOT, which forces any attempt to execute pre-existing program code to be left up to guesses and probability.
