Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I don't know what's happening here: Why is it building with -fstack-protector-strong when the compiler does not support it? I'd assume the kernel had that option disabled then.

That said, maybe someone else figures it out...

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

As per my previous comment, marking as incomplete for ndiswrapper. Nobody has shown that anything is wrong here. The kernel or compiler seems to be configured wrongly.

[Expired for ndiswrapper (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Confirmed by another duplicate today.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Not touching ndiswrapper in trusty, as the package has diverted a lot since then. It's still invalid anyway, regardless of whether there are duplicates or not.
