Title: Binaries lacking hardening protection mechanisms

Severity: Informational

CVSS Score: -

CVSS Vector String: -

Description: AUtomated analysis identified multiple binaries within the firmware that lack essential hardening protection mechanisms. Missing protections may include stack canaries, NX (No eXecute), ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomisation), and RELRO. The absence of these mechanisms increases the exploitability of memory corruption vulnerabilities should any be present in the affected binaries.

Remediation: Recompile binaries with hardening flags enabled where supported by the target architecture. Enable stack canaries, NX and full RELRO at minimum.
