problems: grsec (cvs) (gradm segfault + oops, etc)

Postby devastor » Mon Nov 18, 2002 4:10 pm

Hi,

Something odd happened to me today when I was configuring my acl system:

# gradm -a
Password:
(all ok here, got to admin mode)
# pico mysql.acl
# gradm -R
Password:
(I pushed ctrl-X ctrl-C here, because I didn't want to reload it yet)
# pico mysql.acl
# gradm -R
Password:
zsh: 31955 segmentation fault gradm -R
(here I typed the correct password and everything blew up :) )
got Oops to the logs and the whole acl-system was shutdown
# gradm -R
Password:
#
(no seg fault etc. here, but acl system was disabled..)

things seen in dmesg:
(first i go to admin mode (ok), then i try to reload the acl (oops),
and when i try it again acl system is disabled)

1 warning and 1 error issued. Results may not be reliable.

When I tried gradm -E i got Oops again..

Oops is also available at http://www.silen.eu.org/usr/oops.txt
(may be easier to read it from there.. not sure what this forum does for
too long lines :) )
I haven't yet been able to reproduce this.. so i hope you can figure something out
from that oops..

Thanks,

Tuomas Silen

Oh, forgot to say that this indeed is cvs version and may not be
the most recent one.. gradm is from cvs too..
I think i took it from there in the beginning of this month..
So might be fixed in a more recent version..?

yea, grab the newest one of both. Did you check out the gram at a different time than grsecurity? Some of the changes might not have been synced up when you grabbed them. Let me know if the problem crops up again though. As far as I can tell, there's no reason why that piece of code should have any problems.

Will do that, I'll let you know if i encounter any problems :)
Is there a cvs version of the documentation somewhere btw?
Telling what all the new modes are/do, etc.. :)

not yet. I think the following is all you'll need:

New subject modes:

O -> disable ptrace and mmap restrictions for this subject

X -> enable RANDEXEC for this subject
G -> enable EMUTRAMPS for this subject
R -> disable RANDMMAP for this subject
M -> disable MPROTECT for this subject
S -> disable SEGMEXEC for this subject
P -> disable PAGEEXEC for this subject
