Description Steve Grubb 2011-08-12 13:13:59 EDT 
Description of problem:
The libresolv library is not compiled with the stack protector enabled. Because it talks to remote DNS servers to do lookups, it might be subjected to malformed replies. Although there are no known bugs in this library that are exploitable, it is prudent to make sure we have used protection mechanisms built into the compiler "just in case". Because of network delays and server response times, any overhead created by the stack protector is likely to be unnoticed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. checksec.sh --file /lib64/libresolv-2.12.so
  
Actual results:
Partial RELRO   No canary found   NX enabled    Dynamic Shared Object 

Expected results:
Partial RELRO   Canary found   NX enabled    Dynamic Shared Object
