This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.1.8' of 'grsecurity' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at http://freshmeat.net/projects/grsecurity/ The changes in this release are as follows: Changes in this release include new PaX flag support in the RBAC system, interface support for RBAC network policies, additional gradm analysis, a sysctl variable for disabling the ability to load or unload kernel modules at runtime, PaX updates, and a fix for a serious RBAC bug where an admin role could be left on a restarted service if the admin exited his shell without unauthenticating from the role first. Release focus: 4 - Minor feature enhancements Project added: Mon, Apr 23rd 2001 18:15 (4 years, 8 months ago) Project description: grsecurity is a complete security system for Linux 2.4 that implements a detection/prevention/containment strategy. It prevents most forms of address space modification, confines programs via its Role-Based Access Control system, hardens syscalls, provides full-featured auditing, and implements many of the OpenBSD randomness features. It was written for performance, ease-of-use, and security. The RBAC system has an intelligent learning mode that can generate least privilege policies for the entire system with no configuration. All of grsecurity supports a feature that logs the IP of the attacker that causes an alert or audit.
