Execute Disable Bit
The Execute Disable bit allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable,
when combined with a supporting operating system. If code attempts to run in non-
executable memory the processor raises an error to the operating system. This feature
can prevent some classes of viruses or worms that exploit buffer overrun
vulnerabilities and can thus help improve the overall security of the system. See the
