[SOLVED] Console Message

[Qinn]

Hi there I could use some help on the explanation of the console message I am getting

 [HBSD ASLR] pax_aslr_init_vmspace check your /boot/loader.conf
-> pid 92753 ppid: p_pax: 0x40<ASLR>

I checked the file, only 5 lines nothing in particulair:

root@OPNsense:/boot # cat loader.conf
comconsole_speed="115200"
hw.usb.no_pf="1"
autoboot_delay="3"
loader_brand="opnsense"
loader_logo="hourglass"

Thanks for any help in advance...

Hi Qinn,

This is on i386, right? How often do you see this message in any given day?

It's about ASLR stating that there is not enough entropy to randomise addresses.

In i386 this can still happen as there is very little address space to randomise in. There is no downside except ASLR not being effective on this process (pid 92753).


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the architecture is i386 (Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2 cores)) with 768MB RAM DDR 400 on a OPNsense 16.7.r2-i386. The uptime is 2 days 22:15:21 and since then twice.

That won't be a spamming nuisance and is safe to ignore.

Thanks,
