I wish all distros will start compiling all its packages with a consistent policy to enable at least some level of stack protection (like Ubuntu and unlike Debian).
- gizmo686 13y agoDoesn't Ubuntu take most of their packages from Debian?
- habitue 13y agoUbuntu uses the packages that have been maintained and integrated by Debian, but they don't necessarily take the binaries. They compile it themselves, and that means they can specify whatever compile options they want.
- dima55 13y agoCan you elaborate? Debian has infrastructure for hardening their builds (look on their wiki), but each package has to make sure to use it. Unless Ubuntu patches each package source (which they don't), then they have the same hardening status as Debian. Where did I go wrong?
