Subject: [PATCH] man: update MemoryDenyWriteExecute description for executable
|
||
|
stacks
|
||
|
|
||
|
Without going into details, mention that libraries are also covered by the
|
||
|
filters, and that executable stacks are a no no.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Closes #5970.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(cherry picked from commit 03c3c520402db803cffd5abc7ea0c55fba95fbb3)
