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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Responsibilities
|
## Responsibilities
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Developing and maintaining various security related packages that are not in upstream EL. Identifying, developing, and maintaining security hardening changes relative to upstream EL packages. Occasionally including/backporting additional security fixes that are not yet in upstream EL packages. Contributing to the respective upstreams where practical.

## Repo Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||

|
||||||

```
|

## Packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Extra packages (for EL8 and EL9)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [lkrg](https://lkrg.org) (Linux Kernel Runtime Guard)
|
||||||
|
- [passwdqc](https://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/) (Password/passphrase strength checking and policy enforcement)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Override packages (currently only for EL9)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- glibc (adds many security-hardening changes originating from Owl and ALT Linux on top of EL package)
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
More packages/changes are planned, including override packages also for EL8.

If anyone else wants to join this effort - in any capacity including development, maintenance, testing, documentation, user support, spreading the word, or something else - please join the Mattermost channel below and let us know!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We also welcome well-reasoned suggestions/feedback/preferences on direction we should take (e.g., only making changes on top of EL's vs. offering newer upstream versions), what else to package, and what other changes to include.
