[RoLUG] exec-shield overflow protection patch

[ben]

Una nuova patch per migliorare la sicurezza del kenel da
Ingo Molnar:
"The exec-shield feature provides protection against stack, buffer or function 
pointer overflows, and against other types of exploits that rely on overwriting 
data structures and/or putting code into those structures. The patch also makes 
it harder to pass in and execute the so-called 'shell-code' of exploits. 
The patch works transparently, ie. no application recompilation is necessary."
