Package: volview Version: 3.4-2 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The CPPFLAGS hardening flags are missing because CMake ignores them by default. The following patch fixes the issue by adding them to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. For more hardening information please have a look at [1], [2] and [3]. diff -Nru volview-3.4/debian/rules volview-3.4/debian/rules --- volview-3.4/debian/rules 2012-02-01 21:10:53.000000000 +0100 +++ volview-3.4/debian/rules 2012-03-24 17:11:15.000000000 +0100 @@ -9,6 +9,10 @@ DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1 -include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk +# CMake doesn't use CPPFLAGS, pass them to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to enable the +# missing (hardening) flags. +CFLAGS += $(CPPFLAGS) +CXXFLAGS += $(CPPFLAGS) %: dh $@ --parallel --sourcedirectory=VolViewPlatformComplete To check if all flags were correctly enabled you can use `hardening-check` from the hardening-includes package and check the build log (hardening-check doesn't catch everything): $ hardening-check /usr/lib/VolView/Plugins/vvITKMergePaintbrushLabelImages.so /usr/lib/VolView/Plugins/vvITKPaintbrushCrop.so /usr/lib/VolView/Plugins/vvITKThresholdImageToPaintbrush.so ... /usr/lib/VolView/Plugins/vvITKMergePaintbrushLabelImages.so: Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored) Stack protected: yes Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found) Read-only relocations: yes Immediate binding: no not found! /usr/lib/VolView/Plugins/vvITKPaintbrushCrop.so: Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored) Stack protected: yes Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found) Read-only relocations: yes Immediate binding: no not found! /usr/lib/VolView/Plugins/vvITKThresholdImageToPaintbrush.so: Position Independent Executable: no, regular shared library (ignored) Stack protected: yes Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found) Read-only relocations: yes Immediate binding: no not found! ...
