[hardening-discuss] Bug#799739: hardening-check: check for executable stack/heap

[Simon Ruderich]

Package: hardening-includes
Version: 2.7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

the attached patch adds a check for executable heap/stack to
hardening-check. Some (mostly older) programs still use an
executable stack which might be a security issue. This patch
finds those problematic programs.

Regards
Simon
