Here is the sles15 sp1 guide: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP1/html/SLES-all/cha-security-protection.html#sec-sec-prot-general-kernel In paragraph 2.9.9 it stated: "Starting with the 2.6.x kernel releases, Linux offers Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and the No-eXecute (NX bit) for mitigation of buffer overflow attacks."
So possibly it is in sles11, but certaintly in sles12.
