Trusted Debian v1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on Monday April 21, 2003 @07:45AM from the trusty-too dept.

Peter Busser writes "The Trusted Debian project releases its first official release, v1.0. Its main focus is solving most (but unlikely all) buffer overflow problems. It features PaX, a kernel patch which does several things. It tries to keep code and data apart, it randomizes stack, code, heap and shared libraries, it does strict mprotect() checking and it also protects the kernel. Trusted Debian also uses the stack protector patch for GCC developed by Hiroaki Etoh at IBM, which adds overflow checks to C/C++ code. It also features FreeS/WAN and RSBAC, an extensive access control framework. More information is available from the website. There is also a demonstration available for the special capabilities of this release."

It's official. Abortion is murder! by Anonymous Coward · 2003-04-21 07:49 · Score: -1, Troll

Peterson charged with two murders
One was for his wife. So far so good.
The other was for his child. Which was still in the womb of its mother at the time of the crime. So, does this mean that killing an unborn child is now officially considered to be murder?
