Details

The bzip2 and bzip2recover executables are built without RELRO. This can be solved either by modifying the build system or by adding makedepends=(hardening-wrapper). This can be confirmed with `checksec --file`. Note that these are often run on untrusted input.

The missing canary on bzip2recover is a false positive - it is built with -fstack-protector-strong but there are no candidates for SSP protection.
