Thought this went away in my Jan-2023 git pull, but apparently not. Looked in my dmesg output and saw this again. process 'sharebin/cingg2301/bin/cin' started with executable stack Why? A consequence of the plug-in system? a poorly designed 3rdparty library? an oversight? stack segments are generally marked as no-exec to protect against using them to execute rogue instructions by saving those instructions in auto-vars on the stack that could be executed by fudging the return address of a function. Just looking for an acknowledgement of this, and any relevant related history at this point.
