IPFire 2.27 - Core Update 177 is available for testing
The next update for IPFire is available for testing! It contains more hardening features for modern processors and a large number of security fixes in third-party packages.
This update comes with extended hardening for the kernel by using Indirect Branch Tracking wherever possible. This will prevent hackers to hijack functions calls and jump into injected code. This feature is currently only supported on Intel processors.
In the near future, we will extend this feature to the user-space and more processor types.
