"Linux 6.7: Enhanced Features and Improved Security"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phoronix
Linux 6.7 will introduce the ability to enable or disable 32-bit program support at boot-time, allowing Linux distributions to reduce their attack surface while still enabling users to run legacy software without recompiling the kernel. The new patches for Linux 6.7 will provide the option to toggle 32-bit support at boot-time, giving users the ability to enable it with a boot-time flag without rebuilding the kernel. Server administrators will also have the option to easily disable this support. These changes do not alter the default policy.
