Hello,

        Many security exploits create files in the /tmp directory
and execute them. I think it would be a good idea to add logging
to the to exec_check_permissions() in kern.exec.c so that attempts
to run files from a filesystem mounted as "noexec" can be detected.

        With this measeure, and mounting /tmp as "noexec" some
generic hostile acts (wow, how does it sound! :-) ) could be
detected.

        Regards,



        Borja.
