Gibraltar Firewall

Gibraltar has released v1.1 with minor security fixes. "Changes: This release fixes the brk() local root vulnerability by updating to kernel 2.4.23, altough local users are not used by default on Gibraltar. Additionally, the PAX patch has been applied to the kernel, making it a lot less vulnerable to buffer overflow exploits in general."
