[libdv-dev] [PATCH] Make libdv not use an executable stack

[Nicholas M. <nm...@gm...>]

On i386 and AMD64 systems, /usr/lib/libdv.so.4.0.1 is erroneously
marked as requiring an
executable stack. This is because it uses several assembler source files that do
not contain a .note.GNU-stack section indicating that an executable stack is
unnecessary. As a result, any application which links to libdv.so.4 has an
executable stack. This is a security risk.

Attached is a patch which adds these sections to each of the assembler
source files included in libdv CVS.
