Fixed bug #855 Ludwig Nussel 2009-10-18 06:31:52 PDT an mprotect call was added to fix bug 528. However that results in a buffer that allows writing and code execution. Ie the no-execute security features of modern operating systems are defeated this way. Two mprotect calls are needed. One to make the buffer executable but not writeable when done and another one to make the buffer writeable again if the content needs to be changed.

>Description</H2
><P
>This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface of the
pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel,
suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface.  It calls
<A
HREF="sdlconvertsurface.html"
>SDL_ConvertSurface</A
></P
><P
>If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit
acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before
calling this function.</P
><P
>This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel,
if the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_SRCCOLORKEY</TT
> flag is set on the surface.
The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the
pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere.</P
