'Executable Stack Disabled' Host compliance rule from 13c EM console, shows RHEL 7 host in violation which is wrong because exec-shield os parameter is always disabled and there is no way to change this parameter, check the below
'Executable Stack Disabled' value depends on exec-shield os parameter whose value returned by script <Agent_Home>/sysman/admin/scripts/executestack.pl on agent machine during metric collection
In RHEL6/OL6, exec-shield os parameter is configurable, so executing script <Agent_Home>/sysman/admin/scripts/executestack.pl on agent machine will return the below
em_result=disabled
In RHEL7/OL7, exec-shield os parameter is disabled by default and there in no way to change this parameter at OS level, so executing script <Agent_Home>/sysman/admin/scripts/executestack.pl on agent machine will return the below
em_result=disabled
Similarly in Linux UEK Kernel machines, exec-shield os parameter is disabled by default and there in no way to change this parameter at OS level, so executing script <Agent_Home>/sysman/admin/scripts/executestack.pl on agent machine will return the below
em_result=disabled
