Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-05-21 10:15:26 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 davfs2 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):

davfs2-1.4.7-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

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

I have added global hardening flags in the spec file for EPEL7 and EL6.

I don't have commit access to the other branches.
