| Filter-out-PIE-flags-when-building-shared-objects.patch | Filter out PIE flags when building shared objects Filter out -pie, -fpie, and -fPIE when building the shared library and the PAM module. This way, hardening=+all can be used unconditionally in debian/rules. |

| Correct-the-check-of-pthread_create-s-return-value.patch | Correct the check of pthread_create()'s return value. This function returns a positive number (errno) on error, so the code wasn't previously freeing some memory in this situation.

| Large-strings-can-confuse-libcap-s-internal-strdup-code.patch | Large strings can confuse libcap's internal strdup code. Avoid something subtle with really long strings: 1073741823 should be enough for anybody. This is an improved fix over something attempted in libcap-2.55 to address some static analysis findings. Reviewing the library, cap_proc_root() and cap_launcher_set_chroot() are the only two calls where the library is potentially exposed to a user controlled string input.
