Subject: [openwall-announce] LKRG 0.3; "LKRG under the hood" presentation slides

Hi,

We'd like to announce Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG) version 0.3:

http://www.openwall.com/lkrg/

The following changes have been made between LKRG 0.2 and 0.3:

*) [ED] Fix false positive caused via potential race condition when child
   process might be faster than mother returning from the fork()
*) [ED] Change the logic and loglevel for message printed when racy situation
   at fork() appears
*) [CI] Change assigned probabilities when integrity routine will be fired

Legend:
[CI] - Code Integrity
[ED] - Exploit Detection

Like before, this release is due to work by Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki.  This
time, it's sort of a stable release.

Adam gave a talk on the inner workings of LKRG at CONFidence in Krakow,
Poland last month, and we've just released the slides online:
