Not a C/C++ developer here. What's the significance of this? Would it make buffer overflows easier to exploit?
- timtamboy63 11y agoYes - a common way to exploit a stack overflow is to basically "write code" in the stack and then execute it. If the stack isn't executable, you can't execute the "code you wrote" in the stack.
