It would have been better to ask this on -hackers or -current.

If I understand things correctly FreeBSD requires an executable
stack for signal trampolines, so the answer would be no.

But I may be wrong, so I'm Cc'ing this to -hackers.

Non-Executable Stack Patch

2003-06-05 Thread Tony Meman
I was wondering if there's any non-executable stack patch for
FreeBSD's kernel.
I searched in google but all I got was some questions in 
freebsd-security back from 2001 and an answer saying someone
heard about a project like this, but no information at all.

Is there any patch like PaX or Openwall available for FreeBSD?

I dont want to discuss if its useless or not since there're a
lot of techniques to defeat these protections. I'm not
interested in patches for gcc or alikes either.
Regards,
