Dogtag Certificate System (DGS) is an enterprise-class open-source Certificate Authority (CA) supporting all aspects of certificate lifecycle management including Certificate Authority (CA), Data Recovery Manager (DRM), Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Manager, Registration Authority (RA), Token Key Service (TKS), Token Processing System (TPS) and smartcard management, through Enterprise Security Client (ESC).

Refer to the Dogtag Certificate System page on the Fedora wiki for additional details — http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Features/DogtagCertificateSystem.

modprobe Whitelist allows system administrators in high-security situations to limit the modules loaded by modprobe to a specific list of modules configured by the administrator. This limit makes it impossible for unprivileged users to exploit vulnerabilities in modules that are not ordinarily used, for example, by attaching hardware. The amount of potentially vulnerable code that can run in the kernel is therefore limited.

modprobe can also run specified commands instead of loading a module (using the install configuration directive); this is restricted using the same whitelist as well. To help system administrators compile the whitelist, additional functionality is added to modprobe: it will be possible to log all information (similar to using modprobe -v) to a specified file, including modprobe actions run in the dracut initrd. A script will be provided that compiles a proposed whitelist from the logged data.

Use this whitelist to reduce the kernel-space attack surface considerably and avoid risk of vulnerabilities in rarely-used kernel-mode code. A sample desktop Fedora system currently has 79 modules loaded, out of 1964 available modules (4%). When counting code size, and the main kernel file (/boot/vmlinuz*) is included, the sample desktop system runs 8.36 MB of kernel-space code, out of 34.66 MB available (24%).

דיאלוג חשבונות המשתמשים החדש תוכנן מחדש ויושם כדי ליצור משתמשים חדשי ולערוך מידע משתמש במערכות עם משתמש יחיד או בפריסות קטנות. הדיאלוג החדש כולל את הפונקציונליות שהיתה זמינה קודם לכן במגוון כלים, כמו system-config-user, gnome-about-me, gdmsetup and polkit-gnome-authorization, והופך את כל הפונקציונליות לזמינה במקום אחד.

PolicyKitOne replaces the old deprecated PolicyKit and gives KDE users a better experience of their applications and desktop in general. The Fedora 12 KDE Desktop Edition used Gnome Authentication Agent . PolicyKitOne makes it possible to utilize the native KDE authentication agent, KAuth in Fedora 13.
