Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computer security, executable space protection is the marking of memory regions as non-executable, such that an attempt to execute machine code in these regions will cause an exception. It makes use of hardware features such as the NX bit. The Burroughs 5000 offered hardware support for executable space protection when it was introduced in 1961; that capability was retained in its successors at least through 2006. In its implementation of tagged architecture, each word of memory had an associated, hidden tag bit designating it code or data. Thus, user programs cannot write or even read a program word, and data words cannot be executed.
