Perform the following ELF security checks:
- PIE: Check for position independent executable (PIE), allowing for address space randomization
- NX: Check that no sections are writable and executable (including the stack)
- RELRO: Check for read-only relocations, binding at startup
- Canary: Check for use of stack canary
Also add a check to symbol-check.py that checks that only the subset of
allowed libraries is imported (to avoid incompatibilities).
This reverts commit 1078fb0885 (and thus
pull #5623). It has various issues:
- Pull request names get cut off at ", see e.g. a026a56
- Merge script no longer copes with pulls that have a milestone
attached, due to a duplicate 'title' in JSON that is not handled by the
ad-hoc parsing.
- Check that image contents match pre- and post- crushing.
- Also remove use of external tool to compute sha256 in favor of hashlib.
- contrib: remove all use of shell=True in strip_pngs.py
Using `shell=True` can be a security hazard. See e.g.
https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.check_output
- Catch problems such as mismatched formatting characters. Remove
messages that can give problems at runtime.
- Also remove unfinished/untranslated messages, they just take up space
in the ts and waste parsing time.
Fixes#4774.
Running git version 2.1.0 on OSX (homebrew), I get
fatal: '1q': not a non-negative integer
I'm guessing git command-line parsing got more strict recently?
Run this script from the root of the repository to update all translations from transifex.
It will do the following automatically:
- create a transifex configuration file
- fetch all translations
- post-process them into valid and committable format
Add a script to check that the (Linux) executables produced by gitian
only contain allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols. This
makes sure they are still compatible with the minimum supported Linux
distribution versions.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
