Subject: Buffer Overflow warning with -fstack-protector and bigpatch 1.7.0.2
 (des3-cbc-sha1)

Hello,

I compiled john 1.7.0.2 with the following CFLAGS:
-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
And this patch:
http://www.openwall.com/john/contrib/john-1.7-all-4.diff.gz

When I run john -test, a buffer overflow is detected:

Benchmarking: Kerberos v5 TGT [krb5 3DES (des3-cbc-sha1)]... *** stack 
smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/john terminated

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Btw. why are the patches distributed apart from john?

Till
