From abf6dfbc625006f08fb30fef5814d0c7eb57e2ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Diego Elio 'Flameeyes' Pettenò Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 20:51:53 +0200 Subject: Remove exploitable LD_BIND_NOW hack (CVE-2009-1894). Instead of trying to re-execute pulseaudio itself with LD_BIND_NOW set, just find the correct flag for the linker to request immediate bindings (all ELF files support that option), and use that when linking the daemon. Reduce the amount of compiled and executed code as well. --- configure.ac | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'configure.ac') diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 25cee577..690c2a89 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -114,6 +114,12 @@ CC_CHECK_LDFLAGS([${tmp_ldflag}], [VERSIONING_LDFLAGS='-Wl,-version-script=$(srcdir)/map-file']) AC_SUBST([VERSIONING_LDFLAGS]) +dnl Use immediate (now) bindings; avoids the funky re-call in itself +dnl the -z now syntax is lifted from Sun's linker and works with GNU's too +dnl other linkes might be added later +CC_CHECK_LDFLAGS([-Wl,-z,now], [IMMEDIATE_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,now"]) +AC_SUBST([IMMEDIATE_LDFLAGS]) + dnl Check whether to build tests by default (as compile-test) or not AC_ARG_ENABLE([default-build-tests], AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-default-build-tests], [Build test programs only during make check])) -- cgit
