Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-7aff14ecad
2018-05-12 18:18:44.007768
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : annobin
Product : Fedora 28
Version : 5.7
Release : 2.fc28
URL : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Toolchain/Watermark
Summary : Binary annotation plugin for GCC
Description :
A plugin for GCC that records extra information in the files that it compiles,
and a set of scripts that analyze the recorded information. These scripts can
determine things ABI clashes in compiled binaries, or the absence of required
hardening options.
Note - the plugin is enabled in gcc builds via flags provided by the
redhat-rpm-macros package, and the analysis tools rely upon the readelf program
from the binutils package.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Rebuilt using gcc 8.1.1. Since annobin is a gcc plugin it must be built by
exactly the same version of gcc as will be used when it is run. (GCC does not
have a stable API for plugins...). Hence since gcc has just been updated to
8.1.1. it was necessary to rebuild annobin.
