Title:
systemd mounts /run without noexec
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
initramfs-tools in Bionic+, when mounting the filesystem, mounts /run
with noexec
Cloud images run without initramfs and rely on systemd for the mounts.
systemd, however, mounts /run without noexec. Snip from mount-setup.c
(either in src/core/mount-setup.c < 248 or src/shared/mount-setup.c in
>= 248 )
```
#if ENABLE_SMACK
{ "tmpfs", "/run", "tmpfs", "mode=755,smackfsroot=*" TMPFS_LIMITS_RUN, MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_STRICTATIME,
mac_smack_use, MNT_FATAL },
#endif
{ "tmpfs", "/run", "tmpfs", "mode=755" TMPFS_LIMITS_RUN, MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_STRICTATIME,
NULL, MNT_FATAL|MNT_IN_CONTAINER },
```

CPC hasn't received word from any partners yet, but it does constitute
a possible regression from how the system was mounted in Bionic and
Focal before moving to optimized boots in 2020/2021.
