With respect to the security issue at hand, the only relevant issue
would seem to be if a page had write permissions at one time in its
trajectory to having execute permisions, isn't this correct?
The next paragraph of my reply wasn't included in your reply, but I
did state that the mprotect hook would be relevant if its purpose was
to disallow this permission trajectory and in the process disable
enclave dynamic code loading and execution.
So to assist everyone in understanding this issue and the security
implications involved, is the ultimate purpose of the mprotect hook to
disable dynamic code loading?
Have a good day.
