Abstract

This paper is intended as finding some Linux vulnerabilities and it’s countermeasures for securing Linux operating systems. Here proposed Linux distribution is Red Hat Enterprise Linux . observing Linux system there are some vulnerabilities like unauthorized access done by booting and overwriting root password, granted to local user as super user, network level vulnerabilities, gaining rights on file permissions etc. which compromise the database confidentiality and security. By using shell scripting, limiting or restricting access to systems, network monitoring Linux tools, implementing password policies and Security enhanced Linux policies to overcome these kind of problems in Linux systems at server side or client side to make sure operating system security.
