Hi List,
while reading the release information for the new Debian Lenny I noticed
some informations about security improvements in Lenny:
"Further improvements in system security include the installation of
available security updates before the first reboot by the Debian
Installer, the reduction of setuid root binaries and open ports in the
standard installation, and the use of GCC hardening features in the
builds of several security-critical packages. Various applications have
specific improvements, too."

I wonder where to find more information about these improvements? Which
setuid root binaries where reduced, which standard ports closed, etc.
Any idea?
Greetings from the rainy Vienna/Austria,
martin
