Before, people could use it and hope the binaries won't get executed (and if it was possible to execute them by invoking ld.so directly, then ld.so could have been fixed). Now the only possibility is to not use the "noexec" at all. So does that add to security or substract?.. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
