18 Feb 2004; <solar@gentoo.org> :
|
| 72 |
This is paxctl for controlling PaX flags on a per binary basis. PaX
|
| 73 |
is an intrusion prevention system that provides the best protection
|
| 74 |
mechanisms against memory corruption bugs. Some applications are not
|
| 75 |
compatible with certain features (due to design or bad engineering)
|
| 76 |
and therefore they have to be exempted from certain enforcements. It
|
| 77 |
is also possible to use PaX in soft mode where none of the protection
|
| 78 |
mechanisms are active by default - here paxctl can be used to turn
|
| 79 |
them on for selected programs (e.g., network daemons, programs that
|
| 80 |
process network data such as mail clients, web browsers, etc).
|
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
PaX and paxctl work on ELF executables, both of the standard ET_EXEC
|
| 83 |
and the newer ET_DYN kind (older PaX releases referred to the latter
|
| 84 |
as ET_DYN executables, these days they are called Position Independent
|
| 85 |
Executables or PIEs for short).
