From 09ffd94fb15d85fbf9eebb8180f50264b264d6fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Lorenzo=20Hern=E1ndez=20Garc=EDa-Hierro?= Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:54:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] selinux: add executable heap check This patch,based on sample code by Roland McGrath, adds an execheap permission check that controls the ability to make the heap executable so that this can be prevented in almost all cases (the X server is presently an exception, but this will hopefully be resolved in the future) so that even programs with execmem permission will need to have the anonymous memory mapped in order to make it executable. The only reason that we use a permission check for such restriction (vs. making it unconditional) is that the X module loader presently needs it; it could possibly be made unconditional in the future when X is changed.
