for use with "October 2005 stream" (superseded by 2007-02-15 recommended
feature patch 12).

| Summary: |
kernel (new function): Data execution protection for user
processes (esl-patch). |
| Description: |
This feature provides an execution protection for code in user
space data segments which are marked as not executable. It can
prevent, for example, stack overflow exploits and generally makes
a system insensitive to buffer-overflow attacks in user space. |
Note that this patch provides a recommended (optional) add-on to
the "October 2005 stream", to be applied as last patch on top of
patch 10 (or later).
- If you apply the esl-patch, only, you will see no HUNKs.
- If you apply the esl-patch and the cmm2-patch, both, you will
see no HUNKs if you apply the esl-patch before the cmm2-patch.
- Should the 'Data execution protection'-patch require adaptations
to fit on top of later "October 2005 stream" kernel patches, it will be replaced by a new patch.
To create the complete linux kernel sources, with the recommended (optional)
add-on for 'Data execution protection', the "October 2005 stream" kernel
patches in the System Build Cross Reference
(up to patch 10 or later) need to be applied in sequence and the
'Data execution protection'-patch applied as last patch.
