Description Steve Grubb 2012-01-23 21:59:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
passwd is a setuid root program. It should be compiled with PIE and RELRO flags such that we have full relro support.
Comment 6 Jiri Pallich 2012-10-09 12:43:08 UTC 
Since this is a parent bug of an issue that has already been released via Z-Stream (e.g. rhel-6.3.z), this bug is going to be CLOSED as CURRENTRELEASE.
