FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
and without Kerberos 4 & 5 (MKKERBEROS=no). Previously checkflist
complained of missing files.
* move kerberos- and kerberos 4-only files into new flists,
distrib/sets/lists/*/krb.*
* make the flist generators grok MKKERBEROS{,4} variables
* fix Makefiles which treat MKKERBEROS=no as MKKERBEROS5=no.
9 out of 10 experts agree that it is ludicrous to build w/
KERBEROS4 and w/o KERBEROS5.
* fix header files, also, which treat MKKERBEROS=no as MKKERBEROS5=no.
* omit some Kerberos-only subdirectories from the build as
MKKERBEROS{,4} indicate
(I acknowledge the sentiment that flists are the wrong way to go,
and that the makefiles should produce the metalog directly. That
sounds to me like the right way to go, but I am not prepared to do
revamp all the makefiles. While my approach is expedient, it fits
painlessly within the current build architecture until we are
delivered from flist purgatory, and it does not postpone our
delivery. Fair enough?)
infrastructure and using that infrastructure in programs.
* MKHESIOD, MKKERBEROS, MKSKEY, and MKYP control building
of the infratsructure (libraries, support programs, etc.)
* USE_HESIOD, USE_KERBEROS, USE_SKEY, and USE_YP control
building of support for using the corresponding API
in various libraries/programs that can use it.
As discussed on tech-toolchain.
pull in just about all of the differences from the crypto-us telnet
suite (which includes Kerberos 4 and connection encryption support).
Also bring in the Kerberos 5 support from the Heimdal telnet, and
frob a little so that it can work with the non-Heimdal telnet suite.
There is still some work left to do, specifically:
- Add Heimdal's ticket forwarding support to the Berkeley Kerberos 4
module.
- Add connection encryption support to the Heimdal Kerberos 5
module. Hints on this can be taken from the MIT Kerberos 5
module which still exists in crypto-us.
However, even with the shortcomings listed above, this is a
better situation than using the stock Heimdal telnet suite,
which does not understand the IPSec policy stuff, and is also
based on much older code which contains bugs that we have already
fixed in the NetBSD sources.
adding support for Heimdal/KTH Kerberos where easy to do so. Eliminate
bsd.crypto.mk.
There is still a bunch more work to do, but crypto is now more-or-less
fully merged into the base NetBSD distribution.
