Adjustments to _hardened_build and %configure macro in rawhide

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings. 

Packages currently using the _hardened_build macro that also use
libtool may have been built only with "partial" RELRO instead of full
RELRO protections. 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security_Features_Matrix#Built_with_RELRO

A workaround has been added today to the redhat-rpm-config package in
rawhide to fix this issue. Maintainers are encouraged to check their
_hardened_build packages to confirm that they rebuild correctly with
full RELRO protections. Additionally since this change is in the
%configure macro used by many packages, maintainers that find
regressions due to this change should file bugs on the
redhat-rpm-macros package or note them in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978949

You can check your package for RELRO by unpacking it and running the
hardening-check tool from the hardening-check package over it's
libraries. 

Thanks, 

kevin
