SELinux Security – Real Life Examples of SELinux Security

linuxSecurityselinux

Can anyone give a real life example of where SELinux saved their security bacon? (or AppArmour if you wish). If not your own, a pointer to someone with a credible experience?

Not a lab test, not a white paper, not a best practice, not a CERT advisory, but a real example, something like audit2why showing a real hacking attempt stopped in its tracks?

(If you have no example, please keep commentary in comments instead of Answers.)

Thanks!

How about this from Russell Coker? It is a real life example as he has invited everyone onto his machine as root. At first glance I thought this was nuts but then you realize the power of SELinux to make root somewhat useless.

Here are some real life examples from his site.
