[elrepo] Announcement: EL7 Updated kmod-tpe release for RHEL 7.4

[Phil Perry]

Announcing the release of an updated kmod-tpe package for RHEL 7.4 into 
the elrepo repository:

kmod-tpe-2.0.3-4.20170731git.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
tpe-kmod-2.0.3-4.20170731git.el7_4.elrepo.src.rpm

kmod-tpe is a kernel module that implements Trusted Path Execution 
security features in the RHEL7 kernel. From the project's README[1]:

"Trusted Path Execution is a security feature that denies users from 
executing programs that are not owned by root, or are writable. This 
closes the door on a whole category of exploits where a malicious user 
tries to execute his or her own code to attack the system.

Since this module doesn't use any kind of ACLs, it works out of the box 
with no configuration. It isn't complicated to test or deploy to current 
production systems. Just install it and you're done!"

More information may be found at the links below.

This release is for use with EL7.4 and is NOT backward compatible with 
earlier releases of Enterprise Linux 7. It is recommended that users of 
this package update at the same time as updating to EL7.4

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
