Debian bug 435250
Quote:
dev 0.113-1 mounts /dev noexec, and this breaks the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
So far I am inclined to revert the change, but I am soliciting opinions about applications mmap'ing PROT_EXEC /dev/zero and if it is a good idea and should be allowed, or not.

Debian bug 435186
We haven't seen this come in yet, but it's expected soon. Is this something that Nvidia is already aware of? If not, here's the links you need.
I'll be testing to confirm this, or to see if current udev package 0.113-2 has this fixed or not.
<update>I just tested this, and on debian sid, I can't see any problems with latest udev and nvidia 100.14.11 driver. It looks like noexec is not used in /dev with 0.113-2 but I can't say for certain what the status is.
