In the CD-ROM case (bug #353548), the workaround/fix for this is to add 
"mode=0444" to the following gconf key: 
/system/storage/default_options/iso9660/mount_options

This results in all files on CD-ROMs being mounted without the
executable flag set, unless the CD-ROM has Rock-Ridge extensions that
specify the permissions.  Note that this will not prevent explicitly
executing scripts on the disc via an interpreter.

In my opinion, this setting and the similar ones for vfat/ntfs mentioned
above should be the default.  I cannot think of any use-cases where
someone would want to directly execute files from an external drive or
CD-ROM.
