SGI have announced the release of their certification test suite and its incorporation with the Linux Test Project (LTP). The test suite is a component of their EAL4+ CAPP/LSPP certification effort for RHEL 5.1 on Altix hardware, and is based on previous IBM work.

HP announced the release of their Audit/MLS certification testsuite, which was used in conjunction with LTP as part of their RHEL5 CAPP/LSPP/RBACPP certification. The testsuite includes coverage of NetLabel/CIPSO, IPsec labeling, and CUPS printing.

Following the recent IBM evaluation, RHEL 5 on Hewlett-Packard hardware has now also achieved certification for LSPP, RBACPP and CAPP at EAL4 augmented. Notable here is the way that these certification efforts were community-based, with the vendors working cooperatively on the same GPL codebase, sharing development efforts.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5 on specified IBM hardware has now completed NIAP evaluation at EAL4 Augmented with ALC_FLR.3, against the LSPP, RBACPP and CAPP protection profiles. This is the first time that SELinux has been evaluated in this manner, and the highest EAL rating awarded to a Linux operating system.
