TODO: I have never built it for osdev purposes before, but I guess that you do make all-target-libssp and make install-target-libssp like with libstdc++. This means you have to build libssp as part of your toolchain. Seemed to occur in the process, and alert the user or system administratorĪlternatively to your own implementation, you can use the implementation that comes with GCC. It can then stop all threads in the process, investigate where the issue

User-space code or be unsafely influenced by it, so it can be considered Tasks and invoke it unconditionally and immediately. The ideal approach is perhaps to have a special system call that does these Is in a chroot or out of file descriptors). Ensure none of these operations fail (for instance, if the process Use onlyĪsync-signal-safe functions, preferably without state that could influence them.ĭon't write to any standard streams but open the terminal anew or write to the Your approach should be to discard the process as soon as possible. It could have pointers to variables on the stack of the compromised thread, and SSP won't help if it accesses those.

You may take such approaches with thread-local storage,Įrrno, paging, GDT, scheduling, and so on, and suddenly a bootstrap is veryĬomplex with many dependencies between language features.

This approach adds code complexity and early phases where languageįeatures are not online. Guard value, perhaps written in assembly or in C but built without stack smash Is not cryptographically secure (unless you anticipate sufficiently obscure bugsĪlternatively, you could have an early phase in your code that initializes the Take advantage of the bug-discovering properties of SSP even if the guard value Not special, they are just examples of randomly generated numbers. You can do this by putting the guard value inĪ special segment that the loader knows to randomize. You should have the program loader (the bootloader in the case of Note how the secret guard value is hard-coded rather than being decided during Noreturn void _stack_chk_fail ( void ) void foo ( const char * str ) Robustly because the compiler did it itself. Optimize these checks away if you wrote them yourself, this only works * Note how buffer overruns are undefined behavior and the compilers tend to
