Are all binary files of a Python installation protected with techniques like Adress Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention? How can someone check this with an PE Editor or something similar? I know that this seems not to be a matter of great interest, but it would set an example to other programmers: Security is not an optional feature, but a necessity. Many thanks in advance. |

Python is supported on many platforms and the techniques and support for address layout randomization and similar techniques vary greatly. Also, in many cases, Python is being used from a distribution built by a third-party, such as an operating system vendor or a third-party package manager, using their own preferred tooling and configurations. In the specific case of Windows builds downloadable from python.org, it appears that ASLR and DEP have been enabled as of Python 3.4 (see Issue16632). |
