Subject[PATCH 2/5] fork,random: use get_random_canary to set tsk->stack_canary
Date
From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

Use the ascii-armor canary to prevent unterminated C string overflows
from being able to successfully overwrite the canary, even if they
somehow obtain the canary value.

Inspired by execshield ascii-armor and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree.
