Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR)

Support for Address Space Layout Randomization was added in FreeBSD HEAD (13-CURRENT) in base r343964. It is disabled by default.

ASLR is enabled on a per-ABI basis, and currently only allowed on FreeBSD native i386 and amd64 (including compat 32bit) ABIs. Support for additional architectures will be added after further testing.

Global controls :

- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.enable - Enable non-fixed mappings done by mmap(2) - kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.pie_enable - Enable PIE image activation mappings - kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk - Allow using sbrk area for mmap(2) - vm.cluster_anon - Enable anonymous mapping clustering

Per-process and per-image controls:

- procctl(2) adds PROC_ASLR_CTL / PROC_ASLR_STATUS - NT_FREEBSD_FCTL_ASLR_DISABLE feature control note bit makes it possible to force ASLR off for the given binary. A tool to edit the feature control note is in development.
