Source: rsyslog Version: 5.8.5-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: hardening
Hardening options is a proposed release goal for Wheezy [1]. rsyslog is widely deployed on Debian systems, so having its package compiled with the hardening options seems really like a good idea. I have rebuilt the package with hardening options enabled and there was no error (during build, or at runtime). The only required patch is to add the following to debian/rules: DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1 include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk and the package will use dpkg-buildflags, which in turn enable the hardening options. Note that PIE and bindnow are not enabled by default. This can be done using: DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+pie,+bindnow in the debian/rules file. You can control and enable/disable each hardening flag independently, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/09/msg00001.html for details.
