I've been using Gentoo for a few months as our office's linux distribution to perform various security audits. While reading through page 17 of the 28 page Gentoo Linux Security Guide, I noticed a lot of information pertaining to patching numerous holes in the operating system through /proc. These vulnerabilities range from source routed packets, to ICP redirect acceptance. After searching through quite a few google pages, I didn't find any Windows specific content on these topics. Are these security vulnerabilities only restricted to linux or can these be changed on Windows systems as well? Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.
