Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
