This is paxctl for controlling PaX flags on a per binary basis. PaX
|
|
is an intrusion prevention system that provides the best protection
|
|
mechanisms against memory corruption bugs. Some applications are not
|
|
compatible with certain features (due to design or bad engineering)
|
|
and therefore they have to be exempted from certain enforcements. It
|
|
is also possible to use PaX in soft mode where none of the protection
|
|
mechanisms are active by default - here paxctl can be used to turn
|
|
them on for selected programs (e.g., network daemons, programs that
|
|
process network data such as mail clients, web browsers, etc).
|
|
|
|
PaX is provided by a separate kernel patch, that you need to install manually.
