[Kolab-devel] OpenPKG gcc 4.1 security opportunity

[Fabio Pietrosanti]

Hi all,

i would like to suggest using the OpenPKG gcc 4.1 (instead of 4.0) that
introduced the secure 'propolice' feature in the standard code.

By compiling all software with propolice extension most stack based
overflow are mitigated.
