Ld Execstack



execstack is a program which sets, clears, or queries executable stack flag of ELF binaries and shared libraries. Linux has in the past allowed execution of instructions on the stack and there are lots of binaries and shared libraries assuming this behaviour.

My guess is that the options here are really only meaningful on Linux. This brings me to the -z execstack option (not the Linux tool of the same name), which tells ld to turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) on the program. This is done with flags in an ELF executable.

Normally ld will give an error if you try to link together input files that are mismatched for some reason, perhaps because they have been compiled for different processors or for different endiannesses. This option tells ld that it should silently permit such possible errors. This option should only be used with care, in cases when you have taken some special action that ensures that the linker errors are inappropriate.

This tells ld to produce a file called output as the result of linking the file /lib/crt0.o with hello.o and the library libc.a, which will come from the standard search directories.(See the discussion of the -l option below.). Some of the command-line options to ld may be specified at any point in the command line. However, options which refer to files, such as -l or -T, cause the file to be …

LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT is ignored in secure-execution mode. LD_DYNAMIC_WEAK (since glibc 2.1.91) By default, when searching shared libraries to resolve a symbol reference, the dynamic linker will resolve to the first definition it finds. Old glibc versions (before 2.2), provided a different behavior: if the linker found a symbol that was weak, it would remember that symbol and keep searching in the remaining.

About the execstack. Linux has in the past allowed execution of instructions on the stack and there are lots of binaries and shared libraries assuming this behaviour. Furthermore, GCC trampoline code for e.g. nested functions requires executable stack on many architectures.
