Description of problem: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE says that "you MUST enable the PIE compiler flags if your package is long running ...". However, currently beanstalkd is not being built with PIE flags. This is a clear violation of the packaging guidelines. This issue (in its wider scope) is being discussed at, https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1104 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/180827.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beanstalkd-1.4.6-8.fc19.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: You can use following programs to check if a package is hardened: http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/rpm-chksec OR https://github.com/kholia/checksec Steps to Reproduce: Get scanner.py from https://github.com/kholia/checksec $ ./scanner.py beanstalkd-1.4.6-8.fc19.x86_64.rpm beanstalkd,beanstalkd-1.4.6-8.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/beanstalkd,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=network-ip
Created attachment 741786 [details] this should enable PIE
Dear (lazy / busy) maintainer, For enabling PIE I have uploaded a patch + modified .spec file at https://github.com/kholia/unSPEC/tree/master/beanstalkd That link also has a small benchmarking script (bench.py). In my limited testing, I couldn't find any performance difference between the PIE and no-PIE builds.
Do the attached patches work?
My apologies, I'll be spending a day next week on Fedora items.
This will be fixed in the next build $ rpm-chksec beanstalkd FILE TYPE RELRO PIE /usr/bin/beanstalkd daemon full yes
