Fedora Core 4: SELinux Policy Configuration Enhancements Security Advisory

fedora
Calendar Grey August 29, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest update for Fedora Core 4 refines SELinux policy settings, bolstering mandatory access controls for better security management.
Updated package.

Summary

Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux® kernel and a number

of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add

mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux

kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to

improve the security of the Flask operating system. These

architectural components provide general support for the enforcement

of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those

based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access

Control, and Multi-level Security.

This package contains the SELinux example policy configuration along

with the Flask configuration information and the application

configuration files.
