[Kees Cook]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Thunderbird is still compiled with -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE, which should be
removed as xulrunner has been fixed.

# workaround multiple crashes in xulrunner in Intrepid (at least 3 in realpath())
# caused by Intrepid shipping gcc 4.3 with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 by default
CPPFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE
export CPPFLAGS
$(warning export CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS))

** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Confirmed

** Visibility changed to: Public

** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium
       Status: New => Confirmed
