Hi guys, I'm new in *BSD systems and I would like to gain some information.
Could anyone tell me how FreeBSD looks from security point of view in comparison to Linux patched with Pax+GRSecurity? I've heard that there're less vulnerabilities in the BSD kernel than in the Linux one, but how does it look in the userland? Does FreeBSD implements by itself any additional protections against heap overflows/race conditions?
I'm running Gentoo on hardened-sources since four years and I'm looking for some new experiences. I was trying to find some useful infos on the web but I haven't find anything interesting in this topic, so I ask you to help me. Sorry for trouble.
