*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX implementation for the Linux kernel 3.x, as
used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM
devices and other products, does not properly consider certain memory
sections, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass intended access
restrictions by leveraging the presence of RWX memory at a fixed
location.
