    Updated Security Analysis of Red Hat Enterprise 5

    Mark Cox from Red Hat has published an analysis of the security updates release for RHEL 5.0 through 5.2:

    • Enterprise Linux 5.0 to 5.1
    • Enterprise Linux 5.1 to 5.2 risk report

    The blog posts cover the effects of various exploit mitigation technologies. Sadly it seems the same software keeps having security holes over and over again. It would be a good idea not to use a web browser from an important server (No duh!). It also seems like Samba and Kerberos related daemons have some major issues and should be locked down with a MAC system like SELinux and removed from any system where they are not specifically needed.
