Subject: [grsec] grsecurity 1.9.12 and 2.0-rc3 released

grsecurity 1.9.12 has been released for the 2.4.22 kernel. Changes

in 1.9.12 are mainly PaX updates, which include additional heap

randomization.

grsecurity 2.0-rc3 has been released today for the 2.4.22 kernel.

Changes include logging the full path of offending processes and parent

processes, PaX updates, small performance enhancements, and a new option

for gradm to remove yourself from a special role without exiting your

shell. In case you're interested in what changes there will be between

rc3 and 2.0 final, here's a summary:

# per-subject caching to reduce the O(n) time complexity where n is the

directory depth on lookups

# revised subject inheritance, addition of role inheritance. You will be

able to inherit from any subject/role desired, and the inheritance will

be interpreted in the kernel, greatly reducing memory usage for

administrators needing to use tens of thousands of subjects. This allows

inheritance to be used as a templating system of sorts as well.

# Rewrite of userspace structures to an O(1) time complexity

# Domains - instead of groups being the only way to classify users,

domains will allow you to group any number of user roles into a single

applicable role.

Essentially, the changes left for 2.0 are to make it more suitable for

corporations or other large scale or large system deployments. Expected

final release date, due to the large modifications involved, is January

2004. Of course, much like the initial development release of 2.0, 2.0

final may be released much earlier than that.

I'd also like to thank everyone that has donated to the project (and

me). The response has been pleasantly overwhelming.
