What's New with Security-Enhanced Linux?

December 2000 - First Public Release

The first public release has been made available. The release is based on kernel version 2.2.12 and Red Hat version 6.1 utilities. This release contains mandatory access controls for the major kernel subsystems and an example security policy configuration that demonstrates how to use these controls to meet several security goals. There is still significant work ahead to provide mandatory access controls for all kernel services and to provide a complete general purpose security policy configuration.
