Proactively improve security for Breezy
Requirements
- Run cron as non-root?
- Run dhclient3 as non-root?
- Run dhcpd3 as non-root?
Change unix_chkpwd from suid root to sgid shadow (see [http://bugs.debian.org/155583 #155583])
- Compile-time stack protection?
- Eliminate inetd from base
- Non-executable stack for i386?
Agenda
Pre-Work
- Research privilege requirements of cron, dhclient3, dhcpd3
- Search for implicit dependencies on inetd via netbase
- Determine requirements for compile-time stack protection in gcc (4.x?)
