kexec: ppc exec stack fix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



execstack shows ppc kexec has an executable stack,
this leaves it vulnerable to buffer overflows.

Fix it by adding ASFLAGS --noexecstack

Tested on PowerMac G4 Macmini:
Without the patch:
dave at darkstar:~/kexec-tools$ execstack build/sbin/kexec 
X build/sbin/kexec

With the patch:
dave at darkstar:~/kexec-tools$ execstack build/sbin/kexec 
- build/sbin/kexec
