3Initial Package Version: 0.97
4Upstream Status: Unknown
5Origin: Grub Bug Report - http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=11312
6Description: This patch fixes the following issues on x86_64
7 1) malloc'd pages seem to lack the execute bit on x86_64;
8 2) grub seems to use some stack pointer diversion to malloc'd pages;
9 3) nested functions execute data on the stack;
10 4) this causes a segfault (at least on my machine)
