What's New?
- New checks for RPATH and RUNPATH elements in the dynamic sections. Thanks to Ollie Whitehouse.
- checksec.sh now takes account of the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment variable when checking the Linux kernel protection mechanisms (--kernel). Thanks to Martin Vaeth for the hint.
- Some minor changes and clean-ups. Thanks to Brian Davis.
- Ubuntu 11.10 support for --fortify-file and --fortify-proc.
RPATH RUNPATH?!
For more information on why checksec.sh flags RPATH and RUNPATH, please refer to the following excellent post on Information Security Stack Exchange.
