Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1 v2] gcc: Add support for --enable-default-pie configure option.
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 23:43:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171228214333.8340-1-stefan.froberg@petroprogram.com> (raw)

By default, buildroot produces insecure binaries.

GCC 6.x added build time configuration option "--enable-default-pie".
With that enabled, GCC will produce PIE 
(Position-independent executables) binaries.

PIE is a requirement for ASLR (Address space layout randomization)
that will make exploits like return-to-libc attack impossible. 

If you want to have a modern, secure system then enable this option.

To override this default behaviour, you can use -no-pie
with your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.
