Mark Cox writes in Red Hat Magazine, Risk report: Two years of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
“Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4 was released on February 15th, 2005. This report takes a look at the state of security for the first two years from release. We look at key metrics, specific vulnerabilities, and the most common ways users were affected by security issues. We will show some best practices that could have been used to minimise the impact of the issues, and also take a look at how the included security innovations helped.” The article not only provides some interesting information on Linux security; it also gives some insights to how the folks inside Red Hat view the security issues.
