Bug 236137 – A possible ebuild patch for app-emulation/wine for PAX enabled systems

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 164814
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Browning 2008-08-29 17:38:14 UTC]

An ebuild patch to enable recent versions of wine to run without further modification on systems with mprotect from PAX enabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge wine on a pax system w/ mprotect
2. try to run wine

Actual Results:  
wine is killed by the kernel mprotect feature for trying to execute in anonymous memory

Expected Results:  
wine should run without trouble

I had a version this working on a 1.1.2 ebuild modified from the stock 1.1.0 ebuild. I can't get 1.1.3 to build, but that is a different issue.

this should enable wine to run on hardened systems without modification, however it is not production ready I think, in that there are likely apps that would remain broken.
