RSBAC 1.5.0 has been released for kernel 4.4.20. Please drop us a note if you need support for other kernel versions.

The most important changes since 1.4.9 are the port to longterm kernel 4.4 and the new feature “Prevent memory write and execute (RSBAC mprotect)” to prevent against process memory segments being both writable and executable. This new hardening feature made me choose a new middle version number.

The change lists are here: Kernel changes: http://www.rsbac.org/dl.php?file=code/1.5.0/changes-1.5.0.txt

Please consider giving some feedback on the RSBAC mailing list.
