Details

Earlier /usr/bin/qtcreator (short: qtcreator) was just a wrapper script, and the actual binary was qtcreator-bin. Therefore paxd.conf contains "em /usr/bin/qtcreator-bin".

This has been changed recently, and the wrapper script is now "qtcreator.sh" with the binary being "qtcreator". Therefore the paxd.conf line must be changed to "em /usr/bin/qtcreator", otherwise qtcreator dies due to pax detecting an execution attempt in an anonymous mapping.

Additional info:
* package versions: paxd 32-1, qtcreator 4.2.1-4

Steps to reproduce:

* Boot a grsec kernel
* Install paxd & qtcreator
* Try to start qtcreator and observe the segfault & associated messages in the journal
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  The grsecurity and PaX patches are no longer public so paxd will no longer be maintained or packaged.
