what is x-space compliant rpm in CentOS

Hi Team,
Following files from grub2-pc-modules-2.02-0.65.el7.centos.2.noarch rpm are not x-space compliant

/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/diskboot.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/lzma_decompress.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/pxeboot.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/cdboot.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/lnxboot.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/boot_hybrid.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/boot.image
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/kernel.exec

Is there any plan to make these files x-space compliant in next versions?

Regards,
Vyshnav

Same question as your other (duplicate?) thread: What is x-space? Google has never heard of it.

So you are talking about executable-space protection

The last post by avij in this thread viewtopic.php?t=61264 may help you to check whether the protection is active or not on your installation.

X-Space = executable space protection

I can't resist ... Are you talking about the Space Force?

I know, I know but the Devil

made me do it.

There's tricky Ol' Satan

again raising his head... about the Space Force which we are told is going to "protect us" in by being able to "execute in Space". I swear the Devil made me do it.

Thanks, I had entirely forgotten that I had written such instructions.

I've merged this and the grub topic now.
