Hmm, I misread the patch and blew it. Not the first time. The text has been tweaked somewhat and is hopefully less fictional now; sorry for the confusion.

Less fictional (but I still wouldn't call it perfect) *smile*

I did try to specifically address the issue of the differences between SELinux and non-SELinux mmap_min_addr use in a blog I created today.

From the point of view of an authenticated and logged in user SELinux is doing a worse job and I clearly want to fix this. From the point of view of a remote attack or in light of people who run dumb things (run wine), SELinux was taking a better approach.

I'm hoping to fix those dumb things.

We have a word for those "dumb things" that grant more privilege than the system normally would: "vulnerability." So where's the CVE?
