Version: 1:5.34-2
Severity: normal
I found the file(1) tool on Debian buster would erroneously detect ELF shared
libraries as 'pie executable'; for example:
~/src$ cat sample.c
#include <stdio.h>
void func1(int a) {
fprintf(stderr, "function: func1(%d)\n", a);
}
~/src$ gcc -Wall -O1 --shared sample.c -o libsample.so
~/src$ file libsample.so
libsample.so: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=56c53c1ca858c31c2d58bf9ee80e3eb9ff4ac36d, not
stripped
