kernel-secure-2.2.17-21mdk.i586.rpm

Description:

The Secure-Linux patch adds a few security features to the kernel
which, while not a complete method of protection, will stop most of
the 'cookbook' buffer overflow exploits cold. It also adds the option
of restricting the use of symlinks in +t (temp) directories which
fixes most tmp-race exploits as well. It can also add a little bit
more privacy to the system by restricting access to parts of /proc to
root so that users may not see who else is logged on or what they are
doing.
