Subject: kernel: memfd_create() called without MFD_EXEC or MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL set
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2024 18:43:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240618184318.01aaaf4f@disroot.org> (raw)

Hi,

I would like to report the call to memfd_create in `src/libbpf.c` does
not specify MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL on newer kernels that allow
this feature, which is used to prevent code execution on the memory
area. It only specifies MFD_CLOEXEC.

This is reflected in the kernel logs:
[    4.853311] systemd[1]: memfd_create() called without MFD_EXEC or
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL set

There is a similar patch in wayland for checking and versioning this
flag: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/merge_requests/343/

Thanks!
btdmaster
