Lenny Security Improvements



Hi List,

while reading the release information for the new Debian Lenny I noticed some informations about security improvements in Lenny:

"Further improvements in system security include the installation of available security updates before the first reboot by the Debian Installer, the reduction of setuid root binaries and open ports in the standard installation, and the use of GCC hardening features in the builds of several security-critical packages. Various applications have specific improvements, too."

I wonder where to find more information about these improvements? Which setuid root binaries where reduced, which standard ports closed, etc.
Any idea?

Greetings from the rainy Vienna/Austria,
martin
