"For some time there have been two mainstream Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems for Linux. SE Linux and AppArmor.

Linux is such a strong operating system for two primary reasons - by design and with the help of security systems like AppArmor and SELinux.

Two years after acquiring the company that developed the AppArmor security software for Linux, Novell has laid off team members behind the project.

If you want to secure your server using AppArmor, you have to create and modify the profiles for all the applications you use. This can easily be done using the YaST AppArmor modules or the command-line tools.

Protect your mail server with AppArmor templates pre-built for easy set up. AppArmor protects applications from exploits.

SELinux wants to touch every file on your system. But is this necessary?

As we close in on the 7.10 (also known as Gutsy Gibbon) release, we are taking a look at the various cool features that we are going to get as part of this new Ubuntu. Today we turn to AppArmor, the application security framework.

John Johansen, a developer with commercial Ubuntu sponsor Canonical, has submitted an updated version of the AppArmor security framework to the Linux kernel developers for inspection.

A recently discovered root exploit attacked the newest Linux versions and circumvented protection systems such as SELinux and AppArmor. A solution has been found.
