Hello misc, I was wondering if these accusations against OpenBSD were true, I doubt he is lying, maybe he is just not telling the whole truth.
http://www.uaoug.org.ua/archive/msg01088.html The first part is irrelevant, Linux may have implemented the sysctl switch before OpenBSD. However, their min_map_addr was set to 0 by default for a long time. Which did lead to vulnerabilities in Linux. "hey keep coming up with the same exact "innovations" others came up with years before them. Their official explanation for where they got the W^X/ASLR ideas was a drunk guy came into their tent at one of their hack-a-thons and started talking about the idea. They had never heard of PaX when we asked them in 2003." I do not wish to begin a troll-like thread, I just want the truth. Regards. Michel Antoine User
