Hello, All: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm emerge'ing a _new_ system and realized later that I *may* have made a |
| 4 |
mistake: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I added '-fstack-protector' to CFLAGS and began emerge'ing the |
| 7 |
system without emerge'ing hardened-gcc first. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
According the the propolice.xml page, SSP has been included in gcc since |
| 10 |
3.2.3-r1 so - it is my understanding that - the '-fstack-protector' should |
| 11 |
enhance the security of the system against buffer-overflows. But by not using |
| 12 |
hardened-gcc, I'm concerned that I may have missed-out on a critical security |
| 13 |
enhancement. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Should I re-emerge the entire system or just emerge hardened-gcc before |
| 16 |
emerge'ing grsec-sources? |
