Hi! bc and dc provides ELF executables that are not compiled as a position independent executable (PIE). PIE is required for fully enabling Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), which makes "Return-oriented" attacks more difficult. I have successfully rebuilt bc adding the following line in debian/rules: export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all I did some quick tests and the package seemed to work fine. Please consider this easy way to improve the security of Debian users. Thanks, -- Lunar .''`. lu...@debian.org : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
