The SELinux web site <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/> has been updated. The
site includes a new release of the SELinux prototype. The current
prototype and the experimental NFS code are now based on Linux kernel
2.6.7. Fine-grained netlink classes and permissions have been added.
Many enhancements and bugfixes for policy as well as userland tools
including slat and setools have been incorporated.
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.
