FEDORA-EPEL-2018-a27d71c715
2018-03-27 19:05:24.060058
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pax-utils
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.2.3
Release : 1.el6
URL :
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/PaX_Utilities
Summary : ELF utils that can check files for security relevant properties
Description :
pax-utils is a small set of utilities for peforming Q/A (mostly security)
checks on systems (most notably, `scanelf`). It is focused on the ELF
format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for OS X systems.
While heavily integrated into Gentoo's build system, it can be used on any
distro as it is a generic toolset.
Originally focused only on [
PaX](https://pax.grsecurity.net/), it has been
expanded to be generally security focused. It still has a good number of
PaX helpers for people interested in that.
