I'm alerting upstream. Was this working on an earlier version of hardened-sources and then broke? the short story is that virtualbox is not compatible with PaX and it's unlikely to change anytime soon. this particular problem is due to some vbox kernel code trying to access userland memory without going through the normal linux accessors (that PaX instruments when UDEREF or KERNEXEC are enabled). Its starting to sound like virtualbox is a lost cause on hardened. |
