Hi folks,

just a quick notice that RSBAC has been ported to kernel 6.1 at 5.15 state. Seems to be running fine on my test system, but please test yourself and report to the mailing list or to the bug tracker.

You get all the code at https://download.rsbac.org/latestdiff/ or through Git at git.rsbac.org/, e.g. git:git.rsbac.org/linux-6.1.y RSBAC has been running very well with kernel series 5.10 for a long time, so please consider 5.10 to be the best choice for now. == RSBAC 1.5.6 for kernel 5.15 == Tuesday, 09/Nov/2021 Hi folks, just a quick notice that RSBAC has been ported to kernel 5.15 at 5.10 state. Seems to be running fine on my test system, but please test yourself and report here or to the bug tracker. In 1.5.6, found in 5.15, 5.10 and rsbac-admin Git repos, we have a new IPC target memfd, which lets memfd access be treated as IPC for easier administration. You get all the code at https://download.rsbac.org/latestdiff/ or through Git at git.rsbac.org/, e.g. git.rsbac.org/linux-5.15.y RSBAC has been running very well with kernel series 5.10 for a long time, so please consider 5.10 to be the best choice for now. == RSBAC for kernel 5.10 == Thursday, 31/Dec/2020 RSBAC is now available for kernel 5.10. So far it seems to work fine here. Please test and report bugs to the bugtracker at https://bugtracker.rsbac.org or to this list. As usual, you find the latest patches at https://download.rsbac.org/latestdiff/5.10/ and the Git repo at https://git.rsbac.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-5.10.y.git;a=summary As we are heading into 2021, we wish all of you a good and successful new year. RSBAC development will turn 25 years old in 2021, maybe a good time for some celebration and reflection. == Decision modules PAX and DAZ removed == Wednesday, 22/Apr/2020 PAX and DAZ modules have been removed in latest kernel 5.4 and rsbac-admin git repos. RSBAC version is now 1.5.5 to reflect that change. == Deprecate decision modules PAX and DAZ == Tuesday, 31/Mar/2020 PAX and DAZ support are now marked as deprecated. PaX has not been freely available for years and the Dazuko interface seems obsolete, too. For on-access malware scanning, I recommend the UDF module. If noone protests within the next few weeks, I am going to remove the related code. == RSBAC for kernel 5.4 == Wednesday, 27/Nov/2019 RSBAC has been ported to kernel 5.4. Please test and report bugs to the bugtracker at https://bugtracker.rsbac.org or to this list. As usual, you find the latest patches at https://download.rsbac.org/latestdiff/5.4/ and the Git repo at https://git.rsbac.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-5.4.y.git;a=summary == New DokuWiki version == Monday, 14/Jan/2019 The RSBAC Website DokuWiki version has been updated today. Please test and report any problems! == RSBAC ported to 4.19 == Tuesday, 30/Oct/2018 Latest RSBAC for kernel 4.19 is now available in Git at git://git.rsbac.org/linux-4.19.y.git Diffs will start showing up at https://download.rsbac.org/latestdiff/ after release of 4.19.1. Please test and report any problems! As a side node, I will start removing old unsupported Git repositories, EOL at upstream and unchanged for > 10 months, from the server soon. Please tell me, if you still need them. == Latest RSBAC patches == Wednesday, 11/April/2018 Even though this page has not been updated for a long time, RSBAC is still under constant development and maintenance. Latest code has always been available through git. From now on, you can also find the latest RSBAC patches for the maintained kernel versions in the latestdiff download dir. == RSBAC 1.5.0 == Tuesday, 13/September/2016 RSBAC 1.5.0 has been released for kernel 4.4.20. Please drop us a note if you need support for other kernel versions. The most important changes since 1.4.9 are the port to longterm kernel 4.4 and the new feature “Prevent memory write and execute (RSBAC mprotect)” to prevent against process memory segments being both writable and executable. This new hardening feature made me choose a new middle version number.
