hi list, we have had a series of linux(kernel) bugs reported lately... they were own unique in nature. (o; ( As i haven't gone through each and every to verify its types) On the other hand we have had products like stack guard, lib safe, grsecurity.net, se-linux bla..bla...blah! But, still i don't hear any success stories i mean, an analytical report which says....... using *** patch from the *** product to my default kernel source from kernel.org made my machine immune to * (a particular bug) targeted to my verson of kernel. We all know the product isn't a myth and with a properly hardened OS it could save your day.... BUT i was woundering, to what extent adding these extra security measures are effective against the real attacks & bugs discovered in the kernel. i hope you got my point. (Though, se-linux got features..... lets me not re-describe it all rite now) regards, Bipin Gautam http://bipin.sosvulnerable.net/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
