There are still some programs that have executable stack regions.

Main/Restricted Packages

Originally generated from the ELF files with executable stacks in Karmic main.

Fixed

Nested Functions

Uses Nested Functions which compiler generates as trampolines on the stack.

Trampolines

  • klibc (setjmp implementation)
  • kexec-tools (statically linked against klibc)

Shipped Precompiled Binary

  • fglrx-installer
  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173
  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-180
  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-71
  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-96

Unclassified

  • icon
  • john
  • link-grammar
  • mbr
  • memtest86+
