-config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
- bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection"
- ---help---
- This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
- feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
- the stack just before the return address, and validates
- the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
- overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
- overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
- neutralized via a kernel panic.
-
- This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
- gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
- detected and for those versions, this configuration option is
- ignored. (and a warning is printed during bootup)
