18 Feb 2004; <solar@gentoo.org> :

This is paxctl for controlling PaX flags on a per binary basis. PaX
|
| 39 |
|
|
is an intrusion prevention system that provides the best protection
|
| 40 |
|
|
mechanisms against memory corruption bugs. Some applications are not
|
| 41 |
|
|
compatible with certain features (due to design or bad engineering)
|
| 42 |
|
|
and therefore they have to be exempted from certain enforcements. It
|
| 43 |
|
|
is also possible to use PaX in soft mode where none of the protection
|
| 44 |
|
|
mechanisms are active by default - here paxctl can be used to turn
|
| 45 |
|
|
them on for selected programs (e.g., network daemons, programs that
|
| 46 |
|
|
process network data such as mail clients, web browsers, etc).
|
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
PaX and paxctl work on ELF executables, both of the standard ET_EXEC
|
| 49 |
|
|
and the newer ET_DYN kind (older PaX releases referred to the latter
|
| 50 |
|
|
as ET_DYN executables, these days they are called Position Independent
|
| 51 |
|
|
Executables or PIEs for short).
