Description Harald Reindl 2013-09-16 09:55:29 UTC 
what about reading packaging guidelines before throw another long-running root-process into the distribution as default even after a F18->F19 yum-upgrade?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#PIE
the word "must" is no opt-in

If your package meets any of the following criteria you 
MUST  enable the PIE compiler flags:
 * Your package is long running
 * Your package runs as root

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ hardening-check /usr/sbin/alsactl
/usr/sbin/alsactl:
 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!

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ ps aux | grep alsa

uhm - this bugreport was for F19, at least F20 is current for many months - so please don't ignore the "Version" information and bugreports
