Good day to everyone! Within the last months i built a hardened system including PIE, stack protector, bind now, grsec and fortify source including X and firefox. A firefox compiled with fortify source crashes while stating up. compiling firefox with fortify source disabled results in a firefox which crashes at seemingly random times (ie. moving tabs, about:plugins ...). running firefox within gdb shows crashes within system libs. unfortunately my system does not have debugging symbols so the crashes are hard to track down.
I begin to suspect fortify source as beeing the reason for these instabilities. Within the next weeks I am going to build a system without fortify source to investigate this further. Has anybody an opinion regarding this? Thorsten -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
