Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnupg

Same bug as bug #49192, same solution, run the below script in the root of the source tree:

e="/* Add these three lines to get us a PT_GNU_STACK header */
#ifdef __ELF__
.section .note.GNU-stack,\"\",%progbits
#endif"
for i in `find . -name \*.S`; do echo "$e" >> "$i"; done

Bug upstream once you fix it, use Ubuntu as an example of "yes this really works," reference to nice hardened gentoo documentation[1], yes I actually did a quick check for stack execution (grep for esp and look for jmp or branches into esp+somebytes), etc etc. You get the idea by now.

Recent gnupg:

execstack -q /usr/bin/gpg
- /usr/bin/gpg

Also --enable-noexecstack can be given via configure switch.

This bug was fixed in the package gnupg - 1.4.9-4ubuntu2

---------------
gnupg (1.4.9-4ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: add --enable-noexecstack to configure to avoid needless
    executable stacks on i386 (LP: #49323, debian bug 527630).
  * debian/rules: fix "nocheck" logic to run tests (debian bug 521884).
