* status: accepted => needs_review Comment: I believe I have finally got it working: https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-browser/commit/21514+4 Thanks to Jan de Mooij for looking it over and helpful advice. So far I have tested on Linux, but this will need testing on Windows and Mac at least to show that it doesn't cause a crash. I am reasonably confident the code covers all three platforms. Jan also suggested we could examine the memory maps with and without the patch, using `gdb` or `/proc/pid/maps` on Linux and `VMMap` on Windows. He points out that without the patch we should hopefully observe multiple rwx regions. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21514#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
