A new release of the LSM-based SELinux prototype has been put on the
SELinux web site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/>. The stable (2.4)
LSM-based SELinux prototype was updated to kernel 2.4.17 and was
updated to include a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements made
since the previous release. A new development (2.5) LSM-based SELinux
prototype based on kernel 2.5.2 was also added to the site.
Security-enhanced Linux incorporates a strong, flexible mandatory
access control architecture into the major subsystems of the Linux
kernel. The system provides a mechanism to enforce the separation of
information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements. This
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. The SELinux web
site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> contains background information,
documentation, source code, and archives for the selinux mailing-list.
