[Bug libc/14334] New: [enhancement] Extend FORTIFY_SOURCE protection to other functions which accept formatted string argument


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14334

             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.
