#47332 389-ds-base package should be built with PIE flags
Closed: wontfix None Opened 11 years ago by nkinder.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 953390

Description of problem:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE says that "you MUST
enable the PIE compiler flags if your package is long running ...".

However, currently 389-ds-base is not being built with PIE flags. This is a
clear violation of the packaging guidelines.

This issue (in its wider scope) is being discussed at,

https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1104

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/180827.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

389-ds-base-1.3.0.5-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

You can use following programs to check if a package is hardened:

http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/rpm-chksec

OR

https://github.com/kholia/checksec

Steps to Reproduce:

Get scanner.py from https://github.com/kholia/checksec

$ ./scanner.py 389-ds-base-1.3.0.5-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm
Analyzing 389-ds-base-1.3.0.5-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm ...
...
389-ds-base,389-ds-base-1.3.0.5-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm,/usr/sbin/ns-slapd,NX=Enabled
,CANARY=Enabled,RELRO=Partial,PIE=Disabled,RPATH=Enabled,RUNPATH=Disabled,CATEG
ORY=network-ip

Actual results:

/usr/sbin/ns-slapd is not PIE.

Expected results:

/usr/sbin/ns-slapd *should* be PIE.

Possible Fix:

"_hardened_build" rpm spec macro can be used to harden a package.

Hi Mark,
Could you also investigate 389-admin, too? (Since the server binary is httpd, it may not be needed, but we'd like to make it sure...)
Thanks!!

Yes, it looks like it is needed, so I added it. Thanks!
