reopen 674537 thanks Dear Maintainer,
The LDFLAGS hardening flags are still missing because they are not set in debian/rules. For more hardening information please have a look at [1], [2] and [3]. The following patch fixes the issue. diff -Nru aria2-1.15.0/debian/rules aria2-1.15.0/debian/rules --- aria2-1.15.0/debian/rules 2012-05-25 13:41:17.000000000 +0200 +++ aria2-1.15.0/debian/rules 2012-05-27 01:10:04.000000000 +0200 @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ endif ./configure $(CROSS) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" \ - LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,defs,--as-needed" \ + LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS) -Wl,-z,defs,--as-needed" \ --prefix=/usr \ --with-gnutls \ --without-openssl \ 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/aria2c /usr/bin/aria2c: Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
