Emergency security band-aids with Systemtap Here's an article on the Red Hat security blog on the use of Systemtap to apply emergency security fixes. "With the vulnerability-band-aid approach chosen, we need to express our intent in the systemtap scripting language. The model is simple: for each place where the state change is to be done we place a probe. In each probe handler, we detect whether the context indicates an exploit is in progress and, if so, make changes to the context. We might also need additional probes to detect and capture state from before the vulnerable section of code, for diagnostic purposes." |
