Hello all, |
| 2 |
I have a question about the memlimit USE flag. |
| 3 |
Could anyone tell me what it does? All I know is it adds memory usage limiting in supporting programs. |
| 4 |
Is that a good thing? From the security point of view, let's say? |
| 5 |
Btw, are there any special flags I can use to increase te security of the system? |
| 6 |
I have recently built a new server with apache2 mod_php, mod_ssl and others, scanned it with nessus and killed apache :( with some buffer overflow on https. |
| 7 |
I have been using selinux-sources and I would like to know what hardened sources would you recommend? |
| 8 |
Something with grsec, ssp would be better? And if so, do I need to recompile all the packages? |
| 9 |
Do I also need a special gcc with any kind of buffer overflow protections? |
| 10 |
Explain to me, point me to some documents or something please. :-) |
| 11 |
Also, would be ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" a good idea on a production server? I figure having the latest packages installed sure pays off regarding the previous versions bugs and holes, but they may come with new ones. |
