# SIG/Security Wiki
The Security SIG repositories provide extra security-related packages and security-hardened override packages (replacing those from the main distribution) for Rocky Linux and other EL distributions.
The Security SIG repositories provide extra security-related packages and security-hardened override packages (replacing those from the main distribution) for Rocky Linux and other Enterprise Linux (EL) distributions.

### Override packages (currently only for EL9)
- glibc (adds many security-hardening changes originating from Owl and ALT Linux on top of EL package)
- glibc (adds many security-hardening changes originating from Owl and ALT Linux on top of EL package, fixes [CVE-2023-4527](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/09/25/1))
- openssh (fewer shared libraries exposed in sshd processes while otherwise fully matching EL package's functionality)
The changes are described in more detail in the package changelogs.
The inclusion of additional security fixes will be "reverted" if and when those get included in upstream EL packages that we rebase our changes on.
More packages/changes are planned, including override packages also for EL8.
## Source code
Just like for other Rocky Linux SIGs, the source trees for Security SIG packages are maintained in [per-package git repositories](https://git.rockylinux.org/sig/security/src). Each repository contains branches `r8` and/or `r9` corresponding to target EL version.
