Should the Linux kernel folks enable it by default? I'm inclined to answer "yes" to all three questions. I think the FreeBSD JIT compiler is enabled by default. I'm surprised that the Linux one isn't.Security issue: http://mainisusuallyafunction.blogspot.com/2012/11/attacking-hardened-linux-systems-with.html
Also it's not perfect like BPF VM, check: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/30/384a Don't know if such instruction can happen in BPF filter generated by libpcap (Guy?). If yes we should not enable in on kernels before it was fixed. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
