-linux (5.10.46-4) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * From Linux 5.10.46-4, unprivileged calls to bpf() are disabled by
- default, mitigating several security issues. However, an admin can
- still change this setting later on, if needed, by writing 0 or 1 to
- the kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.
-
- If you prefer to keep unprivileged calls to bpf() enabled, set the
- sysctl:
-
- kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0
-
- which is the upstream default.

-linux (5.10~rc7-1~exp2) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * From Linux 5.10, all users are allowed to create user namespaces by
- default. This will allow programs such as web browsers and container
- managers to create more restricted sandboxes for untrusted or
- less-trusted code, without the need to run as root or to use a
- setuid-root helper.
-
- The previous Debian default was to restrict this feature to processes
- running as root, because it exposed more security issues in the
- kernel. However, the security benefits of more widespread sandboxing
- probably now outweigh this risk.
-
- If you prefer to keep this feature restricted, set the sysctl:
-
- kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0

-linux-latest (86) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * From Linux 4.13.10-1, AppArmor is enabled by default. This allows
- defining a "profile" for each installed program that can mitigate
- security vulnerabilities in it. However, an incorrect profile might
- disable some functionality of the program.
-
- In case you suspect that an AppArmor profile is incorrect, see
- <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/11/msg00178.html> and
- consider reporting a bug in the package providing the profile. The
- profile may be part of the program's package or apparmor-profiles.

-linux-latest (81) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * From Linux 4.10, the old 'virtual syscall' interface on 64-bit PCs
- (amd64) is disabled. This breaks chroot environments and containers
- that use (e)glibc 2.13 and earlier, including those based on Debian 7
- or RHEL/CentOS 6. To re-enable it, set the kernel parameter:
- vsyscall=emulate

-linux-latest (76) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * From Linux 4.8, several changes have been made in the kernel
- configuration to 'harden' the system, i.e. to mitigate security bugs.
- Some changes may cause legitimate applications to fail, and can be
- reverted by run-time configuration:
- - On most architectures, the /dev/mem device can no longer be used to
- access devices that also have a kernel driver. This breaks dosemu
- and some old user-space graphics drivers. To allow this, set the
- kernel parameter: iomem=relaxed
- - The kernel log is no longer readable by unprivileged users. To
- allow this, set the sysctl: kernel.dmesg_restrict=0

-linux-latest (75) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * From Linux 4.7, the iptables connection tracking system will no longer
- automatically load helper modules. If your firewall configuration
- depends on connection tracking helpers, you should explicitly load the
- required modules. For more information, see
- <https://home.regit.org/netfilter-en/secure-use-of-helpers/>.
