https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29212 --- Comment #3 from krzf83@xxxxxxxxx 2011-02-16 18:20:41 --- denying executing code has little to do with filesystem. Noexec was implemented as mount flag so there is no problem of specifing more precice paths to dissalow exec-ing - laziness fs/open.c if ((mode & MAY_EXEC) && S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) { /* * MAY_EXEC on regular files is denied if the fs is mounted * with the "noexec" flag. */ res = -EACCES; if (path.mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_NOEXEC) goto out_path_release; } if there were next if but with checking against list of paths in a file (if not xattr) instead of MNT_NOEXEC. I'm not good in c so I have no way of programing this stuff any time soon. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
