RHEA-2021:4653 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New devtoolset-11-annobin packages are now available as a part of Red Hat Developer Toolset for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description

Annobin is a build security checking tool. The tool consists of annobin, a plug-in for GCC, and annocheck, a program for examining compiled binary files. The annobin plug-in records security-related command-line options that are used when a program is built. This information is stored in the binary files as a special, non-loadable, section. The annocheck tool examines the information, as well as other features of the compiled program, and generates a report about its security hardening status. The devtoolset-11-annobin packages provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset 11 version of Annobin.

This enhancement update adds the devtoolset-11-annobin packages to Red Hat Developer Toolset. (BZ#1954564)
