From: tfraser@nai.com Subject: SECURITY: LOMAC v0.1 - Low Water-Mark Mandatory Access Control for Linux Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 00:38:11 GMT =====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE===== LOMAC v0.1 - Low Water-Mark Mandatory Access Control for Linux is now available. The LOMAC Loadable Kernel Module is a security enhancement for Linux that uses Low Water-Mark Mandatory Access Control to protect the integrity of processes and data. A partially functional prototype is now available for single-CPU Linux 2.0 systems. Although the prototype is incomplete, enough functionality exists to demonstrate LOMAC's ability to contain viruses and to limit the destructive potential of malicious remote users and compromised root daemons. LOMAC is freely available under the GNU Public License, and once built, is installed simply by copying several files and rebooting. Deinstallation requires only deleting the files, plus a reboot to clear the LKM from kernel memory. No kernel recompilations or changes to existing configurations are needed. The prototype still panics the kernel periodically, and should be used for experimental purposes only at this time. LOMAC source and documentation are freely available under the GPL at: ftp://ftp.tislabs.com/pub/lomac -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
