Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.25
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Lintian has hardening-no-{stackprotector,fortify-functions,relro}
tags, which is great, since they are the default set of hardening
flags set by dpkg-buildflags these days.
It would be great if PIE and bindnow could be checked to: it would
allow maintainers interested in hardening their stuff further to
easily track what the status is, and especially, to detect regressions
in this area. With my Tails and pkg-perl member hats on, I would be
happy to have this.
Given PIE and bindnow are not set by default yet, I guess the
corresponding tags (presumably, hardening-no-{pie,bindnow}) should
have Severity = minor or wishlist.
It seems that the hardening checking code supports PIE and bindnow
already, so all that's needed would be to add a tag, right?
Thanks a *lot* for Lintian!
Cheers,
