ASL 2.2.11-0.1 is now available in the [asl-2.0-testing] channel. This update includes some minor bugfixes for ASL Web, and ossec configuration generation. New features (at this time) are in cleaning up old rule updates which will now default to being stored for 7 days.

Larger structural changes have been completed to support new vulnerability checking modules (mentioned earlier in the week), kernel detection, and the new firewall module.

The ASL 2.6.32.21 kernel is now complete, and includes a laundry list of new hardware support that I'll skip posting for now (its a big list!). The really big changes are:

• Major update to in the firewall code
• sysctl access to the grsecurity features
• Support for dracut used in fedora 12+, although the focus for this release is still on CentOS/RHEL so dracut kernels are not in the repo at this time.
• open-vm-tools kernel modules
• dazuko updates

Next week I hope to post some examples of how the new sysctl features will help to integrate with devices requiring privileged access to the kernel.
