About:
NSA Security-enhanced Linux is a set of patches to the Linux kernel and some utilities to incorporate a strong, flexible mandatory access control architecture into the major subsystems of the kernel. It provides a mechanism to enforce the separation of information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements, which allows threats of tampering and bypassing of application security mechanisms to be addressed and enables the confinement of damage that can be caused by malicious or flawed applications. It includes a set of sample security policy configuration files designed to meet common, general-purpose security goals.
Release focus: Minor feature enhancements
Changes:
The base 2.5 kernel version has been updated to
2.5.44. The base 2.4 kernel version remains at
2.4.19, but many changes have been made to the 2.4
LSM patch and to the 2.4 SELinux module since the
last release. The modified login, sshd, and crond
programs have been updated to use a new
configuration scheme. Socket handling has been
improved. Internally, precondition functions have
been removed in favor of early initialization
support. The modified tar has been updated to
tar-1.13.25. A number of other improvements,
bugfixes, and policy enhancements have taken
place.
