Public bug reported: [Impact] The packaging does not respect compiler flags, notably hardening flags like the stack protector, as well as frame pointer, as it never uses dpkg-buildflags and is still old manual style.
This means there is a higher security risk, and the lack of frame pointers hampers profiling. [Test plan] Look at the build log and see that the build flags have been passed, notably stuff like -fno-strict-overflow -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -g -O2 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mno-omit- leaf-frame-pointer -ffile-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -fstack- protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat -Werror=format- security -fcf-protection [Where problems could occur] Hardening flags could surface existing (possibly security) bugs that have been asymptomatic so far; frame pointers will incur some slow down. ** Affects: pillow (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077744 Title: pillow: Does not respect compiler flags To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pillow/+bug/2077744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
