Thank you for reading the Linux Advisory Watch Security Newsletter.
The purpose of this document is to provide our readers with a quick
summary of each week's vendor security bulletins and pointers on
methods to improve the security posture of your open source system.
Vulnerabilities affect nearly every vendor virtually every week, so
be sure to read through to find the updates your distributor have
made available.
LinuxSecurity.com Feature Extras:
Essential tools for hardening and securing Unix based Environments - System administrators are aware as how important their systems security is, not just the runtime of their servers. Intruders, spammers, DDOS attack, crackers, are all out there trying to get into people's computers, servers and everywhere they can lay hands on and interrupt the normal runtime of services.
Securing a Linux Web Server - With the significant prevalence of Linux web servers globally, security is often touted as a strength of the platform for such a purpose. However, a Linux based web server is only as secure as its configuration and very often many are quite vulnerable to compromise. While specific configurations vary wildly due to environments or specific use, there are various general steps that can be taken to insure basic security considerations are in place.
