I am enclosing the part of the exec man page from The Single UNIX ®
Specification, Version 2. It says exec should inherit

process signal mask (see sigprocmask())
pending signal (see sigpending())

I think Linux is wrong at least on

pending signal (see sigpending())

The new process also inherits at least the following attributes from the
calling process image: 


     nice value (see nice()) 
     semadj values (see semop()) 
     process ID 
     parent process ID 
     process group ID 
     session membership 
     real user ID 
     real group ID 
     supplementary group IDs 
     time left until an alarm clock signal (see alarm()) 
     current working directory 
     root directory 
     file mode creation mask (see umask()) 
     file size limit (see ulimit()) 
     process signal mask (see sigprocmask()) 
     pending signal (see sigpending()) 
     tms_utime, tms_stime, tms_cutime, and tms_cstime (see times()) 
     resource limits 
     controlling terminal 
     interval timers
