kernel-hardening-checker

kernel-hardening-checker formerly kconfig-hardened-check Motivation There are plenty of security hardening options for the Linux kernel. A lot of them are not enabled by the major distros. We have to enable these options ourselves to make our systems more secure. But nobody likes checking configs...

Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel has a security vulnerability. This vulnerability stems from the fact that the fsgcommonsetnumbuffers function does not validate the value of n. When the kstrtou8 function interprets n as either 0 or 1, the Kconfig restrictions are bypassed, potentially leading to null pointer...
