From: Hauke Mehrtens Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2023 13:07:36 +0000 (+0200) Subject: kernel: Activate CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff536eca585431a9c90b9e835df818a27decf730;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fjow.git kernel: Activate CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED This activates some extra checks in SLAB or SLUB to make it harder to execute kernel heap exploits. This adds a minor performance degradation which I haven't measured-. Many mainstream Linux distributions also activate this option.
