Hi all. |

On a server I'd normally only update for security and bug fixes or new |
| 4 |
stuff I'm interested in and until now I pretty much skipped toolchain |
| 5 |
updates. But in the light of the recent binutils, gcc, etc. updates |
| 6 |
and as the toolchain contains much of the hardened logic (pie, ssp) my |
| 7 |
question is: should I always update to the latest (stable) toolchain |
| 8 |
packages, especially from a security POV? I'm running grsecurity and |
| 9 |
PaX w/o RBAC if that matters. |

Another question. How long will 2.4 kernels be supported by the |
| 12 |
Hardened project? Because IIRC grsecurity and RSBAC still recommend |
| 13 |
the usage of 2.4 kernels as default. |

Thanks in advance, |
