+Tag: shared-library-lacks-stack-section
+Severity: error
+Check: libraries/shared/stack
+Renamed-From:
+ shlib-without-PT_GNU_STACK-section
+Explanation: The listed shared library lacks a PT_GNU_STACK section. This forces
+ the dynamic linker to make the stack executable.
+ .
+ The shared lib is linked either with a non-GNU linker or a linker which is
+ very old. This problem can be fixed with a rebuild.
+ .
+ To see whether a shared library has this section, run <code>readelf -l</code>
+ on it and look for a program header of type GNU&lowbar;STACK.
