Hello!! I think there is a problem with read only stack in FreeBSD.
On my machine the OS literally hangup. I can't shutdown it properly.
Even with this simple snippet:

Code:

format ELF64 executable $09
entry _start
segment executable readable
_start:
  mov rax, $01
  xor rdi, rdi
  syscall
segment gnustack readable

This seem to also affect 32-bits binary. My FreeBSD is currently at version 12.0.
But I've tested on 11.2 and the system hang too when I try to reboot it.
If anyone known about this. Hope this might help Smile

I think it should be reported to the FreeBSD devs.

Yes you are right. But I'm not sure if it's really a bug. And read only stack segment is not easily generated by gcc/clang. I try to prevent fasm user of this. But yeah, I will try to report this as soon as possible Smile

It looks like a bug to me. It shouldn't be possible for a user program to create a denial-of-service (aka a hang) for the entire system.
