[30f3041]145 PIE (position-independent executables) are
[e502de1]146 binary programs that can be loaded anywhere in memory. Without PIE,
147 the security feature named ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization)
[30f3041]148 can be applied for the shared libraries, but not for the executables
149 themselves. Enabling PIE allows ASLR for the executables in addition to
[e502de1]150 the shared libraries, and mitigates some attacks based on fixed
151 addresses of sensitive code or data in the executables.
[1bade3f]152 </para>
153 <para>
154 SSP (Stack Smashing Protection) is a technique to ensure
[30f3041]155 that the parameter stack is not corrupted. Stack corruption can,
156 for example, alter the return address of a subroutine,
157 thus transferring control to some dangerous code
[e502de1]158 (existing in the program or shared libraries, or injected by the
[30f3041]159 attacker somehow).

227 tests (which are designed to test the MPX option on recent
228 Intel processors). These can safely be ignored on AMD
[1c8cc71]229 processors. These tests will also fail on Intel processors if MPX support
230 is not enabled in the kernel even though it is present on the CPU.
