I hardening-no-bindnow

This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag.

This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table"
(GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for
improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider
overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why).

If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or
hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.

The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.

Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details.

P maintainer-script-without-set-e

The maintainer script passes -e to the shell on the #! line rather than
using set -e in the body of the script. This is fine for normal operation,
but if the script is run by hand with sh /path/to/script (common in
debugging), -e will not be in effect. It's therefore better to use set -e
in the body of the script.

Please refer to Scripts (Section 10.4) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.

X spelling-error-in-binary

Lintian found a spelling error in the given binary. Lintian has a list of
common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
a spelling checker does.

If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
gettext or a similar tool, please fix the error in the translations as
well as the English text to avoid making the translations fuzzy. With
gettext, for example, this means you should also fix the spelling mistake
in the corresponding msgids in the *.po files.

You can often find the word in the source code by running:

grep -rw <word> <source-tree>

This tag may produce false positives for words that contain non-ASCII
characters due to limitations in strings.

C trimmed-field

Architecture amd64
Depends libc6 (>= 2.38)
Description FastCGI process spawner
Allows FastCGI processes to be separated from web server process :
* Easy creation of chmoded socket.
* Privilege separation without needing a suid-binary,
or running a server as root.
* You can restart your web server and the FastCGI applications
without restarting the others.
* You can run them in different chroot()s.
* Running your FastCGI applications doesn’t depend on the web server
you are running, which allows for easier testing of/migration
to other web servers.

I out-of-date-standards-version

The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that
was current at the time the package was created (according to the
timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating
the package to current Policy and setting this control field
appropriately.

If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't
have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version control
field. However, please remember to update this field next time you upload
the package.

See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the
debian-policy package for a summary of changes in newer versions of
Policy.

X debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature

This watch file does not specify a means to verify the upstream tarball
using a cryptographic signature.

If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the
pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL of
an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc

Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
suffered from this kind of attack).

Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.
