===[[Changes/Harden All Packages | Harden All Packages]]===
Hardening is  the process of securing a system/application by reducing its unnecessary functions, or restricting access.
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:
In Fedora 22 and before, it was up to the package maintainer to add %global _hardened_build 1 to their spec file to ensure their program was hardened. Beginning with Fedora 23 this will now become the defaults for all packages. You can compare the security by running the following as root:
 
* <code>dnf install checksec</code>
* <code>checksec --proc-all</code>
 
To see the mitigations in the libraries that a process is using, find the process id from the previous command (for example 123):
 
* <code>checksec --proc-libs 123</code>

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

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.
