core135: Ship updated sysctl.conf
Signed-off-by: Michael Tremer michael.tremer@ipfire.org
commit ef21f3e49d2998eb4a223c05ef05f169ae99537a Author: Peter Müller peter.mueller@ipfire.org Date: Thu Jul 4 19:15:00 2019 +0000
sysctl: improve KASLR effectiveness for mmap
By feeding more random bits into mmap allocation, the effectiveness of KASLR will be improved, making attacks trying to bypass address randomisation more difficult.
Changed sysctl values are:
vm.mmap_rnd_bits = 32 (default: 28) vm.mmap_rnd_compat_bits = 16 (default: 8)
