From ce6a158561f906bfd48ab7a9c7a4c48134844e85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C4=B0smail=20D=C3=B6nmez?= Date: Wed, 8 May 2019 04:30:59 -0700 Subject: mingw: enable DEP and ASLR MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) support. This applies to both 32bit and 64bit builds and makes it substantially harder to exploit security holes in Git by offering a much more unpredictable attack surface. ASLR interferes with GDB's ability to set breakpoints. A similar issue holds true when compiling with -O2 (in which case single-stepping is messed up because GDB cannot map the code back to the original source code properly). Therefore we simply enable ASLR only when an optimization flag is present in the CFLAGS, using it as an indicator that the developer does not want to debug in GDB anyway.
