PaX Description

PaX is a kernel patch implementing additional security feature - non-executable memory pages. PaX is a kernel patch implementing additional security feature - non-executable memory pages. Forward port from 2.4 with some extra features, but only i386 is known to work, other architectures may not even compile - feedback is welcome. Much like 2.6 itself, PaX for 2.6 is experimental and anything can break sometime.NOTE: all versions for 2.6 before 2005.03.05 have a privilege elevation bug, you must update as soon as possible.NOTE: all versions for 2.6 before 2004.05.01 have a local kernel denial of service bug, thanks to ChrisR for bringing it to our attention.
