https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294780 --- Comment #5 from Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Jan Bramkamp from comment #4) Thanks. In the meantime, looking at the fexecve(2) docs: The fexecve() ignores the file offset of fd. Since execute permission is checked by fexecve(), the file descriptor fd need not have been opened with the O_EXEC flag. However, if the file to be executed denies read permission for the process preparing to do the exec, the only way to provide the fd to fexecve() is to use the O_EXEC flag when opening fd. Note that the file to be executed can not be open for writing. I agree that we could seize the opportunity to explicitly mention the interpreter problem here as a reason one might not want O_EXEC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
