I'm not quite sure if this is the correct venue to ask this question but |
| 2 |
here goes. |

I've been using Gentoo for a few months as our office's linux distribution |
| 5 |
to perform various security audits. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
While reading through page 17 of the 28 page Gentoo Linux Security Guide, I |
| 8 |
noticed a lot of information pertaining to patching numerous holes in the |
| 9 |
operating system through /proc. These vulnerabilities range from source |
| 10 |
routed packets, to ICP redirect acceptance. After searching through quite a |
| 11 |
few google pages, I didn't find any Windows specific content on these |
| 12 |
topics. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Are these security vulnerabilities only restricted to linux or can these be |
| 15 |
changed on Windows systems as well? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. |
