'MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes' is defined in systemd.exec(5) as: If set, attempts to create memory mappings that are writable and executable at the same time, or to change existing memory mappings to become executable, or mapping shared memory segments as executable are prohibited. Specifically, a system call filter is added that rejects mmap(2) system calls with both PROT_EXEC and PROT_WRITE set, mprotect(2) system calls with PROT_EXEC set and shmat(2) system calls with SHM_EXEC set.
It is surprising that /bin/touch should trip this check. This will require investigation. ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => coreutils (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719720 Title: [LTCTest][libvpd] Process '/bin/touch /run/run.vpdupdate' failed with exit code 127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1719720/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
