Pages such as Gentoo Wiki, etc using Javascript will Segfault when using Links compiled with javascript using SSP. Whilst this makes sense a solution to the issue or an SSP/PaX safe javascript implementation would be nice. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Compile links with javascript using an SSP enabled GCC 2.Open links on a javascript enabled page (i.e. Gentoo Wiki) 3.Run a piece of javascript. Actual Results: Program exits politely indicating there is a segfault. Expected Results: Allowed the javascript to execute nicely without segfaulting. GCC-SSP-PIE USE="javascript pax"
I'm not really sure if this is related to SSP/PaX. Which version are you using? See Bug 100545.
The latest ebuild from portage (r17). Nothing has a ~x86 build on my system, etc. Using hardened Gentoo. Using a non ssp gcc or doing a -javascript in USE fixes this issue.
(In reply to comment #2) > The latest ebuild from portage (r17). OK, can you try w/ 2.1_pre18?
I should use the ~x86 r18 version - cheers for the bug link. Hopefully it'll loose the ~x86 so that new stable emerged systems don't segfault.
pre18 is stable so closing.
