Subject: Avoid stack/heap executable memory
Date: Tue, 03 May 2016 21:28:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462310910.16919.2.camel@gmail.com> (raw)

mmap() is the only (reasonably) portable and secure way to get
executable memory.  An executable stack or heap makes exploiting
vulnerabilities much easier.

How difficult would this be to implement?
