Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-05-21 09:41:31 UTC
Description of problem:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE says that "you MUST
enable the PIE compiler flags if your package has suid binaries...".

However, currently pulseaudio 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

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-3.0-7.fc19.x86_64.rpm
