This release has many changes from 1.9.7, including new chroot
restrictions, additional ACL features, and a feature that logs the IP

architecture, as well as better support for other non-x86
architectures.

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 with least privilege
via its process-based MAC system, hardens syscalls, and provides many
of the OpenBSD randomness features. It was written for performance,
ease-of-use, and security. The MAC system has an intelligent
learning-mode, and all of grsecurity supports a feature that logs the
IP of the attacker that causes an alert or audit.
