Description of problem: Squid is not built with %{optflags} and therefore lacks -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and -O2 flags. With these flags, squid will be more secure when processing untrusted input (which it does a lot). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): squid-2.6.STABLE6-7.el5 How reproducible: See build logs. Actual results: no -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flag used with gcc Expected results: -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flag used with gcc
