There were several security advisories in the past years, of various privilege escalation or other security holes that were actually in SELinux and not present in the vanilla source. I didn't keep a log of the details but you probably can find them in the advisories archives.
- TheCondor 16y agoHoles SELinux created? Or holes where SELinux was circumvented in new or changed functionality? I'm not aware of any time SELinux has actually introduced a new hole.
- wazoox 16y agoI don't remember precisely, just that the proof of concepts simply didn't work on a kernel without SELinux. When the proof of concept is for instance a privilege escalation, this is quite significant.
