Bug #: 14334
Summary: [enhancement] Extend FORTIFY_SOURCE protection to
other functions which accept formatted string argument
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: sidhpurwala.huzaifa@gmail.com
CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
A lot of projects use functions like warn() etc, which accept printf()-like
format string arguments, but are not protected by FORTIFY_SOURCE.
I know a more likely solution would be to educate the developer to use other
protected functions, but it would be really nice if we could extend
FORTIFY_SOURCE to protect more functions.
Thanks.
