Description of problem: The open-cobol package disables the _FORTIFY_SOURCE security checks. This is a very bad idea! The buffer overflows must be fixed instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): open-cobol-1.0.90-4 How reproducible: Just look at the package... Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look at the changelog. (I caught this while skimming through the rawhide report.) Actual results: _FORTIFY_SOURCE disabled. Expected results: _FORTIFY_SOURCE used. Additional info: "Remove _FORTIFY_SOURCE as adviced by the upstream" is not a valid reason to disable _FORTIFY_SOURCE. Instead, upstream should be hit with a clue-bat!
Ok, I have forwarded your bug report to the upstream author.
Suggest a retest using the latest version ie v1.1 and repost if needed. Open Cobol has its own bug reporting facility at sourceforge.net/project/opencobol
Build with the current snapshot fails on i86 if _FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled. I have reported this bug as BZ #2140608 on sf.net
I have fixed this isse at open-cobol-1.0.95-1
