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 uucp 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): uucp-1.07-34.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 uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/cu,mode=0106555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=network-ip uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/uucp,mode=0104555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/uulog,mode=0100755,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/uuname,mode=0106555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/uupick,mode=0100755,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/uustat,mode=0104555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/bin/uux,mode=0104555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/sbin/uuchk,mode=0100755,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/sbin/uucico,mode=0106555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=network-ip uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/sbin/uuconv,mode=0100755,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None uucp,uucp-1.07-34.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/sbin/uuxqt,mode=0106555,NX=Enabled,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Disabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,FORTIFY=Enabled,CATEGORY=None
Bugzilla's had a hickup. I've submitted updates for Fedora 17 through 19 here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/uucp-1.07-37.fc17 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/uucp-1.07-37.fc18 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/uucp-1.07-37.fc19
Long since fixed.
