Problem

Buffer overrun protection on Linux is achieved in two ways. The most common solution is to use the stack canary (also called cookie). The stack canary is a special value written onto the stack that allows the operating system to detect and terminate the program if a stack overrun occurs. In most cases, compilers will apply the stack canary conservatively in order to avoid a negative performance impact. Therefore, stack canaries are often used together with another stack overrun mitigation - fortified functions. Fortified functions are usually wrappers around standard glibc functions (such as memcpy) which perform boundary checks either at compile time or run time to determine if a memory violation has occurred. The compiler needs additional context to generate such calls (for example, array size that needs to be known at compile time). Because of this, the compiler will virtually never substitute all viable functions with their fortified counterparts in complex programs. However, when combined with the stack canary, fortified functions provide a good measure of buffer overrun protection.

Next steps

Presence of some input functions may indicate use of unsafe programming practices, and you should avoid it if possible.
In GCC, enable fortified functions with -fstack-protector and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flag, while using at least -O1 optimization level.

Problem

ASLR (address-space layout randomization) is a mitigation technique that increases the difficulty of performing buffer-overflow attacks that require the attacker to know the address of the program in memory. This is done by loading the program at a randomly selected address in the process' address space. ASLR-enabled kernels can choose a random load address only for position-independent executables and code.

Next steps

To support ASLR, the program must be compiled as position-independent code. In most compilers, this is done by passing the corresponding position-independent flag, such as -fPIC for shared libraries or -fPIE for executables.
