Thread: Ubuntu 10.04 Server Security?


hi,

got vps few weeks ago, , i've been playing various linux distros made available vps.

far, i'm quite impressed ubuntu 10.04 lts have question hope not silly ask.

noticed many of software packages not latest - example,

apache2 - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4

on apache's changelog:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/changes_2.2

latest version 2.2.19 has several security fixes/patches.

so, question - software packages comes ubuntu 10.04 lts secure enough production server?

i've done:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

ensure installed packages date.

many insights , advice!

adrian

if there important security fix, ubuntu make available through security repository.

don't let version number fool - package maintainers backport security fixes older versions, apache 2.2.14 date security-wise.
