&gt; Even so: does this mean that we should be careful about disabling<br>
&gt; fcf-protection=3Dbranch on a broader/default basis?<br>
<br>
The question was entirely only about bookworm. In bookworm, none of<br>
the fcf-protection bits are enabled by default. It was solely active<br>
in sudo because upstream enabled it.<br>
<br>
I believe the question of disabling fcf-protection is not relevant for<br>
any other bookworm package. The &quot;unstable&quot; part of that question<=
br>
should be discussed on -devel, not in this bug.<br>
