+Subject: [PATCH] Always enable pointer guard [BZ #18928]
+
+Honoring the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable in AT_SECURE mode
+has security implications.  This commit enables pointer guard
+unconditionally, and the environment variable is now ignored.
+
+        [BZ #18928]
+        * sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (struct rtld_global_ro): Remove
+        _dl_pointer_guard member.
+        * elf/rtld.c (_rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard
+        initializer.
+        (security_init): Always set up pointer guard.
+        (process_envvars): Do not process LD_POINTER_GUARD.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+CVE: CVE-2015-8777
+[Yocto # 8980]
