How is it an issue? I think it is a feature - it is noexec that is pretty
badly broken by design, and nearly impossible to render secure... and what
does Linux kernel have to do with addressing it?
Disclaimer: I don't have 2.6 sources at hand, maybe this is the case
(although I somehow doubt there is a reasonable way to fix it kernel -
how, by refusing PROT_EXEC mappings from files on noexec partitions? hope
not).
