Fedora 23 Accepted System Wide Changes Proposals

These changes have been accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee for the Fedora 23 Release as System Wide Changes.

Category:ChangeAcceptedF23 and Category:SystemWideChange

Harden All Packages

Fedora now hardens as many packages as possible with position-independent code (ASLR) and FULL RELRO to reduce the impact of certain potential security vulnerabilities. You can compare the security by running the following as root:

dnf install checksec
checksec --proc-all

To see the mitigations in the libraries that a process is using, find the process id from the previous command (for example 123):

checksec --proc-libs 123

More information can be found at the change page: Harden All Packages

Fedora 23 Boost 1.59 Uplift

This change brings Boost 1.58.0 or later to Fedora 23. We generally aim to ship 1.59.0, as that seems likely to make it (hence the Change name), but 1.58.0 is out and available now.

Two Week Atomic

Fedora Atomic Host is an implementation of the Project Atomic pattern for a specialized operating system for the deployment of containerized applications. For the past two Fedora releases, we've included an Atomic Host cloud image as a non-blocking deliverable. However, upstream Atomic is moving very fast — by the end of the alpha, beta, final stabilization cycle Fedora uses, the released artifact is basically obsolete. Additionally, the Project Atomic team at Red Hat would like to do their ongoing development work in the Fedora upstream, and the six-month release cycle does not lend itself to that.

Standardized Passphrase Policy

Currently a number of places ask users to set passphrases/passwords. Some of them enforce some kind of rules for passphrases/passwords, others different rules. This change would create a common base policy for as many of these applications as possible, allowing for local users or products to override this base in cases they need to do so.
