Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable -fstack-protector
2. Install net-fs/openafs-1.4.7
3. Install net-fs/openafs-kernel-1.4.7
4. tail -f /var/log/messages
5. See error :)
Actual Results:  
See Description.

Expected Results:  
Allow kaserver to proceed normally.
Comment 1 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2008-07-08 22:00:57 UTC
Hardend gcc 4.x.x is not in toolchain yet
and it is masked.
dos gcc 3.6.x work?

gcc 3.6.x doesn't appear to exist in portage ( http://www.gentoo-portage.com/sys-devel/gcc ) but I recompiled with 3.4.6-r2 and had the same issues. 

Portage 2.2_rc1 (hardened/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 x86_64)
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fforce-addr -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector"

However, we now know which function was terminated, initialize_database.

*** stack smashing detected ***: kaserver - terminated
kaserver: stack smashing attack in function initialize_database - terminated

I also tried this with CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" with the same results.

Try getting rid of all optimization (-O0) and removing -fforce-addr from the CFLAGS. Also, glibc-2.7-r2 appears to be unstable (don't downgrade your system glibc, though!!).

If you are willing, it might also be helpful to compile this package with debugging symbols (-g) and to try to run it with gdb. You can "attach" to a process with the gdb command "attach [pid]"

Hope this helps!

this is an old bug with old versions of tools.  please refresh with at least:
 - glibc-2.11.x
 - gcc-4.4.x
 - openafs-1.4.12.x
