CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX: Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX has multiple definitions:

Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO found in arch/x86/Kconfig.debug

The configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX:

• prompt: Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_MODULES
• defined in arch/x86/Kconfig.debug
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.38–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.10

Help text

This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect against certain classes of kernel exploits. If in doubt, say "N".

Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO found in arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug

The configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX:

• prompt: Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_MODULES
• defined in arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug
• found in Linux kernels: 3.18–3.19, 4.0–4.10

Help text

Is this is set, kernel module text and rodata will be made read-only. This is to help catch accidental or malicious attempts to change the kernel's executable code.

If in doubt, say Y.
