Package: x264
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
When building x264 for the armhf architecture, the resulting package contains a
build of libx264.so that has a PT_GNU_STACK ELF program header that identifies
the shared object as requiring an executable stack. This is a bad idea from
security pov, and only seems to affect the armhf build (the arm64 build is
fine).
