#3 Re: Stack Smashing Protection for Debian Posted by Anonymous (81.57.xx.xx) on Sat 24 Jun 2006 at 16:30 Are there any hope that the use of -fstack-protecor become one of the defaults CFLAGS for building debian packages (as it is the whole Fedora Core build, and also OpenBSD forn a long time, and -with an equivalent for vc++- Windows 2003) ? Would be neat to have a protected archive ! Or at least, would the maintainers of sensitives (network services and clients, suid/sgid binaries, ...) packages think about using this ? As a side benefit, not speaking about security, this gcc features make those kinds of bugs more visibles and more debugguables (segfaulting & logging is better than accepting silently corrupted data structures, from a bughunting viewpoint).
