Ceph

Lintian produced the following warnings after building Debian packages of ceph-0.78:

W: librados2: shlib-with-executable-stack usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librados.so.2.0.0
W: libcephfs1: shlib-with-executable-stack usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcephfs.so.1.0.0

Here is more detailed explanation of warning:

The listed shared libraries declares the stack as executable.

Executable stack is usually an error as it is only needed if the code
contains GCC trampolines or similar constructs which uses code on the
stack. One possible source for false positives are object files built
from assembler files which don't define a proper .note.GNU-stack
section.

To see the permissions on the stack, run readelf -l on the shared
library and look for the program header of type GNU_STACK. In the flag
column, there should not be an E flag set.

Severity: normal, Certainty: possible

I don't understand potential implications of this warning but they are quite rare so it would be nice if someone would look into this. More information can be found on the following page:

Please advise if those warnings should be ignored.
