I'm pretty sure this it tries to say that if there is a script on a noexec fs, you still can run it just like you did in your patch. While such a way to "bypass" noexec for scripts seems obvious, I guess it makes sense to document it so that noone does 'sh/python/perl foo' and claims a vulnerability was discovered (it would be impossible to "fix" this anyway). -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
