Package: skanlite Version: 0.8-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The LDFLAGS hardening flags are missing because they are overwritten in debian/rules. DEB_*_MAINT_APPEND is the preferred way to set additional flags (see man dpkg-buildflags for more information). For more hardening information please have a look at [1], [2] and [3]. The following patch fixes the issue. diff -Nru skanlite-0.8/debian/rules skanlite-0.8/debian/rules --- skanlite-0.8/debian/rules 2012-01-06 15:12:32.000000000 +0100 +++ skanlite-0.8/debian/rules 2012-04-18 02:16:21.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,11 +2,7 @@ DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE:=CVS:.svn:.svnignore:.hg:.hgignore -override_dh_auto_configure: - dh_auto_configure --parallel -Skde -- \ - -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed" \ - -DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed" \ - -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed" +export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed override_dh_install: dh_install --list-missing @@ -14,4 +10,4 @@ %: dh $@ --parallel --dbg-package=skanlite-dbg --with kde -.PHONY: override_dh_auto_configure override_dh_install +.PHONY: override_dh_install To check if all flags were correctly enabled you can use `hardening-check` from the hardening-includes package and check the build log (for example with blhc [4]) (hardening-check doesn't catch everything): $ hardening-check /usr/bin/skanlite /usr/bin/skanlite: Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
