Description Karel Zak 2013-09-13 14:05:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

RPM diff:

Daemon executable compiled with only partial RELRO (RHEL6 requires full). See http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/os-devel-list/2011-July/msg00149.html. 

Note that we use heuristics to identify daemons, and these may result in false positives (we identify "foo" as a daemon but it really isn't) and false negatives (we fail to identify "bar" as a daemon, and don't check it for RELRO).

in subpackage uuidd
 	Daemon file compiled with only partial RELRO (should be full): /usr/sbin/uuidd


Fixed in upstream tree by commit 03d00d495f3b505d9cae967c629fb38aca301e01. 

Not sure if we want to backport it to RHEL7 now. The change requires autoconf run in specfile %build. It would be better to wait for upstream tarball upgrade or any rebase. IMHo it's not critical issue.
