You can't fix it. You can always do

      cp file-with-mode-444-perms ./foobar
      chmod +x foobar
      ./foobar

Well, not "always". I used to be on a system where home partitions, /tmp, and any place where you can write something, 
were mounted as noexec. There was also no compiler, etc.
But, with this trick a cracker could upload his favorite binary exploit and easily run it.
