Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 cypherpunks]:
 > ticket:21617#comment:7 shows that with, e.g. Process Hacker, it's
 possible to find out what images have RWX pages. Those 2 images belong to
 Windows 7: its part, known as Media Foundation (itself and audio codec).
 The most recent version of Windows 10 doesn't have this problem.

 Maybe, Tom Ritter could write an official letter to Microsoft?
