Hello again! I'm reopening this bug report again, since the just uploaded iproute 20120521-2 has disabled the hardening build flags because of multiple breakages. Two have been identified, who knows how many more there are.... See: #674730, #674847 (A proper testsuite for iproute2 would be really awesome and very helpful here!)
In my point of view, more investigation is needed to make sure iproute2 is possible to harden without crippling it's functionality. Changes might be needed, which should happen in collaboration with upstream. Unfortunately the time I have to spend on this limits me to mostly trivial fixes. I don't think I'll be able to work on this, so help is needed if this is going to happen. I have a good relation to upstream and can assist in establishing contact and guide interested people in how to work with upstream if you are new to kernel style development practices. -- Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
