Summary: Review Request: sepostgresql - Security-Enhanced PostgreSQL Product: Fedora Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: kaigai@kaigai.gr.jp QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-package-review@redhat.com,notting@redhat.com
Spec URL: http://sepgsql.googlecode.com/files/sepostgresql.spec SRPM URL: http://sepgsql.googlecode.com/files/sepostgresql-8.2.4-0.403.beta.fc7.src.rp... Description: Security-Enhanced PostgreSQL (SE-PostgreSQL) is an extension built-in PostgreSQL. It applies fine grained mandatory access control to database objects based on the security policy of SELinux. This enables consistent application of access controls, as the kernel and SE-PostgreSQL share a unified security policy scheme.
These features allow the implementation of consistent information flow control schemes integrated at both the operating system and database levels. This significantly enhances the security capabilities of the system, to more robustly protect against security threats such as information leaking, unauthorized manipulation and destruction of information.
