Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-05-21 09:37:29 UTC

Description of problem:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE says that "you MUST
enable the PIE compiler flags if your package has suid binaries...".

However, currently pwauth is not being built with PIE flags. This is a
clear violation of the packaging guidelines.

This issue (in its wider scope) is being discussed at,

https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1104

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/180827.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pwauth-2.3.10-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

You can use following programs to check if a package is hardened:

No, I had already patched it and done a build. Didn't get around to flagging the build as an update candidate, but just took care of that now.
