Hi, I'm writing with reference to security test performed by MWR Labs last year. To avoid writing too much I'll just give links to the articles describing the tests: http://labs.mwrinfosecurity.com/notices/security_mechanisms_in_linux_environment__part_1___userspace_memory_protection/ http://labs.mwrinfosecurity.com/notices/assessing_the_tux_strength_part_2_into_the_kernel/ As stated in the articles in Debian Lenny there were very little of available security mechanisms of the Linux environment included. I just wanted to know what is the status of this in Squeeze and also rise a release goal for Wheezy to enable some pro-active security mechanisms mentioned in the articles. For example, I guess enabling PIE in iceweasel, other web browsers and network daemons is worth taking into consideration. I know my point is extremely general, I just hope to start a discussion about this topic. Thanks, Marcin
