Description

This shared object does not have RELRO enabled.The entire GOT(.got and .got.plt both)are writable. Without this compiler flag, bugger overflows on a global variable can overwrite GOT entries. Use the option -z,relro,-z,now to enable full RELRO and only -z,relro to enable partial RELRO.

Research direction

Start by locating the native shared-object build and linker configuration in the JNA repository, since no file or entry point is named in the issue. Verify how linker flags are supplied, enable the requested full RELRO options there, and confirm the resulting shared object has both RELRO and immediate symbol binding enabled.
