Issue #18061 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). Thanks, I agree with your proposed change. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18061: Execshield test: libruby.so.N.N.N: FAIL: property-note test because no .note.gnu.property section found https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18061#change-108952 * Author: jaruga (Jun Aruga) * Status: Assigned * Assignee: kjtsanaktsidis (KJ Tsanaktsidis) * Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: REQUIRED, 3.0: REQUIRED ---------------------------------------- I found an issue in our company's internal test called "execshield" by a security tool annobin - annocheck command [1][2]. ``` Hardened: libruby.so.2.7.4: FAIL: property-note test because no .note.gnu.property section found ``` Here is the reproducer on the upstream latest master, commit is 5f2987d6c2ae9ace3178ac3e1bbb4ac7079101eb, ``` $ autoconf $ ./configure --enable-shared $ make $ ls libruby.so.3.1.0 libruby.so.3.1.0* ``` If you are using Red Hat based Linux distro, it's easy to install by the RPM package like this. ``` $ sudo dnf -y install annobin-annocheck ``` ``` $ sudo yum -y install annobin-annocheck ``` Then ``` $ annocheck libruby.so.3.1.0 ``` If you are using other Linux distros such as Ubuntu, you can use it by a container I prepared. Prepare the following `Dockerfile`. ``` $ cat Dockerfile FROM docker.io/fedora:34 RUN cat /etc/fedora-release RUN dnf -y install annobin-annocheck WORKDIR /work ``` Then build the container image with the `Dockerfile` and run the annocheck command for the `libruby.so.3.1.0` on your host environment. The `-v` is an option for bind mount between host and container environment. ``` $ docker build --rm -t fedora-annocheck . $ docker run --rm -t -v $(pwd):/work fedora-annocheck annocheck /work/libruby.so.3.1.0 annocheck: Version 9.79. Hardened: libruby.so.3.1.0: FAIL: bind-now test because not linked with -Wl,-z,now Hardened: libruby.so.3.1.0: FAIL: notes test because gaps were detected in the annobin coverage Hardened: libruby.so.3.1.0: FAIL: cf-protection test because no .note.gnu.property section = no control flow information Hardened: libruby.so.3.1.0: FAIL: property-note test because no .note.gnu.property section found Hardened: Rerun annocheck with --verbose to see more information on the tests. ``` The message `Hardened: libruby.so.3.1.0: FAIL: property-note test because no .note.gnu.property section found` is what I found in our internal test. For other FAIL messages, maybe it can be fixed by changing how to build. Asking a colleague, I was told that the `coroutine/*/Context.S` files such as [coroutine/x86/Context.S](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/coroutine/x86/Context.S) cause the failure. Do you have any idea how to fix this?
