Package: libmatchbox Version: 1.9-osso8-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The CPPFLAGS hardening flags are missing because configure.ac
clears them. For more hardening information please have a look at
[1], [2] and [3].
The attached patch fixes the issue, if possible it should be sent
to upstream.
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/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmb.so.1.0.9
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmb.so.1.0.9:
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!
(Position Independent Executable and Immediate binding is not
enabled by default.)
Use find -type f \( -executable -o -name \*.so\* \) -exec
hardening-check {} + on the build result to check all files.
Regards,
Simon
