Package: linux-image Version: 4.13.0-rc5 Severity: wishlist Hi Ben, > Send config requests to the bug tracking system, please. as requested: linux-image-4.13.0 introduced CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE: Detect overflows of buffers in common string and memory functions where the compiler can determine and validate the buffer sizes. I applied this configuration in my custom kernel and it works fine. Therefore I asked Kees some time ago >> Is there any chance to get it officially activated? and he aanswered: > I'm sure all the distros will set it enabled, and in a few years the > upstream kernel will make it on-by-default. :) Long story short: Please enable this configuration option. Thanks in advance! Markus
