Description Alexander Todorov 2015-09-17 11:26:17 UTC 
Description of problem:


FESCo requires some packages to use PIE and relro hardening by default. This page contains that list:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hardened_Packages

sendmail-milter uses only Partial RELRO instead of Full RELRO. Please comment if this is acceptable or should be changed ?

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-09-23 15:57:59 UTC 
It makes sense, binaries linking libmilter are usually long running processes processing untrusted data.
