Notices by Paul Moore (securepaul@fosstodon.org)

@jmorris Agreed. I understand why they are doing it, and I recognize that for many people email isn't a reasonable notification mechanism, but I personally am going to miss this and I worry about the impact it will have in approximately three months.

@monsieuricon @jmorris Yeah, like I said, I understand why, but that doesn't mean I'm not sad to see it go away.

A quick summary of the LSM, SELinux, and audit changes merged during the first part of the Linux v6.14 merge window.

I'd like to announce two new libseccomp releases today: libseccomp v2.5.6 which is a minor maintenance release to the v2.5.z release stream, and libseccomp v2.6.0 which is a new feature release for libseccomp. More details in the link below, but libseccomp v2.6.0 adds support for new architectures, transactional filter updates, and more. Give it a try, you'll like it :)

Tomorrow I'll be hosting a Linux Security Modules (LSM) BoF at LPC. If you have any LSM questions or a related topic to discuss, please join us!

Another relatively small update, but here are the LSM, SELinux, and audit* highlights from the Linux v6.11 merge window.

@jmorris Looks suspiciously like a pretty serious magnetron. Stay away from that beryllium ...

SELint, a linter for SELinux policy sources, released a new version yesterday: SELint v1.5.

A new minor release of libseccomp, version 2.5.5, is out with support for Linux v6.7-rc3's syscall table.

I'm a little surprised and disappointed that the 2023 Linux Foundation TAB election only has five candidates running for the five open seats. All five of the candidates are existing TAB members.

It would seem like one of the issues the TAB should focus on this year is getting more people interested in TAB participation.

In just a few minutes I'll be delivering a quick (~15 minute) presentation on the current state of SELinux at LSS-EU.

Time for shiny new avatar, compliments of Alaska on a nice day.

Since it worked well with the Linux v6.5 merge window, here are my notes on the SELinux and audit kernel changes that went into Linus' tree for the upcoming Linux v6.6 release:

@mairin I'd be curious to hear how community projects looking for designer/UX help can go about finding people with that background who are willing to help.

Some projects naturally draw designer/UX oriented and talented people due to the nature of the project, others aren't so lucky and we need to go searching for help.

I have similar questions for people with a technical documentation background if anyone wants to chime in on that front too ;)

On August 8, 2003 Linux v2.6.0-test3 was released and included the first release of SELinux in an upstream Linux kernel. Happy 20th birthday SELinux!
