A seatbelt for server software: SELinux blocks real-world exploits
Hi
An extensive report on the real world advantages of SELinux. A must read
if you care about security (and you should).
http://www.linuxworld.com/news/2008/022408-selinux.html
"Linux security experts are reporting a growing list of real-world
security situations in which the US National Security Agency's SELinux
security framework contains the damage resulting from a flaw in other
software. These so-called "mitigations" are showing that a Linux feature
that began as an esoteric security measure is starting to prove its worth"
