The 32 bit NX support and parts of the randomisation are incorporated already. The segment limit hack will never be incorporated (but that's ok; NX is the real solution and more and more systems out there support NX). The userspace parts of Exec-Shield are in the respective gcc/glibc/binutils upstream codebases already. > There are no exec-shield patches > published for 2.6.13.x yet.

The most current patch is always in the rawhide kernel rpm; once in a while that gets put into a "released" patch, but the rawhide one is updated daily or just about. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
