NSA Security-enhanced Linux 200110161355 by NSA Security-enhanced Linux Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/nsalinux/) Tuesday, October 16th 2001 18:20 Categories: Security, System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux 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. Changes: This release contains bugfixes and additional policy domains and permissions. The capability module may now be stacked with SELinux. The base for SELinux has been updated to the lsm-2001_10_11 patch against kernel 2.4.12.
