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.
SYMLINKS to install symlinked header files. INCSYMLINKS are installed with
'make includes'. This avoids using SYMLINKS and hacks with the 'linkinstall'
target in <bsd.links.mk>, as linksinstall occurs in 'make install' and hacks
to get it to occur in 'make includes' weren't robust, as seen in lib/libdes.
Yet more improvements to bsd.README.
It can't be obsoleted because that causes builds with an old
${DESTDIR}/usr/include/kerberosIV/des.h to fail in directories which
have CPPFLAGS+=-I${DESTDIR}/usr/include/kerberosIV so that their #include
of <krb.h> works (and any subsequent #include <foo.h> by <krb.h>).
(Note: gcc3 won't work with a hack such as prepending -I${DESTDIR}/usr/include
before -I${DESTDIR}/usr/include/kerberosIV.)
Affected directories include lib/libkafs, and any thirdparty source
which used a similar -I/usr/include/kerberosIV hack to use <krb.h>.
alter des.h to be friendly with openssl/des.h (you can include both in the
same file)
make libkrb to depend on libdes. bump major.
massage various portioin of heimdal to be friendly with openssl 0.9.7b.
libcrypto shared major when we moved from OpenSSL 0.9.5 to 0.9.6.
Add note to libcrypto shlib_version file to remind people to also
update libdes shlib_version.
MIT shlib major was larger, bump the Heimdal shlib major to MIT major + 1,
so that exising installed programs using MIT libraries will continue to
function after the transition to Hiemdal.
