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.
* Don't bother prefixing commands with a line of ${_MKCMD}\
and instead rely upon "make -s". This is less intrusive on
all the Makefiles than the former. Idea from David Laight.
* Rename the variables use to print messages. The scheme now is:
_MKMSG_FOO Run _MKMSG 'foo'
_MKTARGET_FOO Run _MKMSG_FOO ${.TARGET}
From discussion with Alistair Crooks.
changes include:
- do not chase header if ip/ip6 datagram is framgented, and it is not the
first fragment
- u_short -> u_int16_t
- buffer boundary checks, including sprintf -> snprintf
- cleanup truncated packet cases
- pull tcpdump.org enhancements/corrections for RIP, IPv6 options, ICMPv6,
OSPFv3, IPv4 options, BGP
there are a lot of local/conflicting changes. we'd gradually decrease
# of diffs by synchronizing both ends, and then move to src/dist/tcpdump
and reachover makefile.
it was completely broken. On big endian machine, it was detected as SUNOS4
and thus 32bit dev_t isn't handled properly.
XXX: The auto detect code should be integrated more cleverly if possible.
XXX: In addition, it is better if there is a way to specify server os type.
