The page at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/propolice.xml |
| 2 |
suggests the following regarding SSP: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
"If you would the protection on by default add -fstack-protector to your |
| 5 |
CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf." |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
However, this is contradicted by other pages on the hardened project |
| 8 |
website which say USE="hardened" is the correct way. Obviously |
| 9 |
USE="hardened" is correct (as it implies -fstack-protector-all), but the |
| 10 |
above could confuse people. |

I arrived at that page from the grsecurity/PaX documentation at |
| 13 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/grsecurity2.xml, I can't see it |
| 14 |
linked elsewhere but I haven't looked exhaustively. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The rest of the documentation is great, it seems the Gentoo documents |
| 17 |
cover more than the grsecurity ones in some aspects. I've now got a |
| 18 |
kernel with PaX/grsecurity and I'm just rebuilding world to get SSP. |
