While not specific to Linux a while back I went through O'Reilly's 'Practicle UNIX and Internet Security' which seems very good. Have a look on some of the linux sites like http://www.linux.org/books/index.html they sometimes seem to offer some good reviews of Linux related books - including security orientated ones... As I always seem to say, have a look at O'Reilly's offerings, they're always good - http://security.oreilly.com/ and http://linux.oreilly.com/

cheers

I bought a couple of really good books on linux security recently. The titles are 'real world security for linux' and 'maximum linux security'. Both are very good books and am getting to learn quite a bit from them...

A v-good book that covers up to the 2.2 Kernel, is called Hacking Linux Exposed.

You'll need a medium understanding of Network fundamentals and Linux OS's to get anything out of it.
Not recommended for advance Linux security people.

It covers a very good current range of security problems on Linux systems, with good examples and website references.
