I had someone tell me that the linux kernel pages are larger size and store instructions and data to the kernel pages. If so isn't there security concerns about making storing data to executable pages? I am guessing that is not the case, may earlier versions did.
Does the linux store instructions and data to one page for kernel pages?
I think u are mistaken like windows linux have paging memory
Linux (major version fedora debain etc) also have their version of Data Execution Prevention to prevent buffer overrun like yr concerns
If u have enough RAM linux wun even touch yr paging memory
The true purpose of linux paging memry is when yr kernel crashes linux will initiate kernel panic and dump yr RAm contents into yr paging memory for debugging later
Linux is much much more secure than any Windows anytime
Reply:Weinter is right, the only time you should be concerned of your security when on linux is if you are logged in on the root user, or your root user has weak password. The only way a infection on linux can occur is if the infection has root access, any other way would be extremely hard.
