RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

> Has this change already landed?

There are no plans to change the deny_execmem boolean value in RHEL 9.
There is a bz 2055822 which removes the change of upstream "off" value of selinuxuser_execmod and selinuxuser_execstack.

Comment 13 Richard W.M. Jones 2022-03-17 20:54:38 UTC
It certainly seems as if the default has changed.  We can no
longer load a proprietary library that has an executable stack.

Comment 14 Zdenek Pytela 2022-03-25 18:10:25 UTC
Given the information gathered so far, the deny_execmem boolean value cannot be changed without substantial changes in other software code, so closing WONTFIX.

Comment 15 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-15 01:36:33 UTC
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 365 days
