Bug#386368: /dev/shm or /run/shm is still not mounted with noexec

2012-05-28 Thread Marc MERLIN
On 7 Jun 2010 the last update said shm would be noexec again.

Is it still going to happen?

Thanks,
Marc

Can't see why not.  We've removed all the abusers of the /dev/shm
namespace, so should be safe to do so.  Are there any known uses
of /dev/shm which would break such as shared mmap PROT_EXEC
mappings?


Regards,
Roger

Enabled in git; should be in -26.
