All this hardened setups live in "tradicional C world" were data and |
| 18 |
code are two separate things. |
| 19 |
They enforce that quite heavily... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In LISP, data and code are one and the same, so all hardened profiles |
| 22 |
believe that any LISP environment is "violating" simple principles |
| 23 |
such has"executing data". |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Having heap and stack without execution permissions invalidate the use |
| 26 |
of LISP .. since it needs do execute data. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I've don't recall being able to use lisp on setups where the process |
| 29 |
heap is not executable. But I could be proven wrong... |
