Comment 14 for bug 1452115

Thanks @Giovanni Pellerano for bumping this again. I can confirm that this is an issue in python3.9 (3.9.7, "3.9.7-2build1") and python3.10 (3.10.0, "3.10.0-2") on 21.10 (amd64). I imagine if nothing is done, the upcoming 22.04 LTS will have the issue in its default python(3), which I imagine will be some version of 3.10.

Alternatively, via `hardening-check` from the devscripts package:

# hardening-check /usr/bin/python3
/usr/bin/python3:
 Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
 Stack protected: yes
 Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
 Read-only relocations: yes
 Immediate binding: no, not found!
 Stack clash protection: unknown, no -fstack-clash-protection instructions found
 Control flow integrity: yes
# hardening-check /usr/bin/python3.10
/usr/bin/python3.10:
