Package: acl Version: 2.2.51-8 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The LDFLAGS hardening flags are missing for libmisc because are
overwritten in the Makefile. For more hardening information
please have a look at [1], [2] and [3].
The attached patch fixes the issue.
To check if all flags were correctly enabled you can use
`hardening-check` from the hardening-includes package and check
the build log with `blhc` (hardening-check doesn't catch
everything):
$ hardening-check /bin/chacl /bin/setfacl /bin/getfacl
/bin/chacl:
Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
Stack protected: no, not found!
Fortify Source functions: yes
Read-only relocations: yes
Immediate binding: no not found!
/bin/setfacl:
Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
Stack protected: yes
Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
Read-only relocations: yes
Immediate binding: no not found!
/bin/getfacl:
Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
Stack protected: yes
Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
Read-only relocations: yes
Immediate binding: no not found!
(Position Independent Executable and Immediate binding is not
enabled by default.)
Use find -type f \( -executable -o -name \*.so\* \) -exec
hardening-check {} + on the build result to check all files.
Regards,
Simon
