[ANNOUNCE] RSBAC 1.3.5 released

Hello everyone!

Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) 1.3.5 has been released for both Linux kernels 2.4.34.5 and 2.6.22.1.
You can download the new version from http://www.rsbac.org

RSBAC is one of the leading access control systems for the Linux kernel with a good selection of access control models, see http://www.rsbac.org/why for more details.

Important changes since 1.3.4:

• Fixes compilation errors with some configurations.
• Some safety measures with null pointers.
• Fixes an important bug with User Management password hashing, introduced with newer 2.6 kernel crypto API.

Major improvements over the 1.2.x series:

Speed and scalability:

• Cache for inherited filesystem attribute values
• Automatically scaling hash tables for generic lists to minimize list lookups
• Change network templates to handle up to 25 ip networks and up to 10 port ranges per template
• Various smaller optimizations

More control:

• Fine grained setuid control also in RC (type of the target user) and ACL (acl at the target user) models
• UNIX sockets as new filesystem target type, thus more fine grained control with RC types and ACLs
• Further improved IPC communication control
• RSBAC User Management password history with configurable length to avoid password reuse.
• New request type AUTHENTICATE against USER targets. No authentication against RSBAC UM without this right in RC and ACL, so even harder to brute force attack

Amon.
