Lintian tag: hardening-no-fortify-functions

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the use of fortified libc
functions. Either there are no potentially unfortified functions called by
any routines, all unfortified calls have already been fully validated at
compile-time, or the package was not built with the default Debian
compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using dpkg-buildflags
directly, be sure to import CPPFLAGS.

NB: Due to false-positives, Lintian ignores some unprotected functions
(e.g. memcpy).

Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening and Bug#673112 for
details.
