Full Disclosure: linux bugs (survival stories)?

[Bipin Gautam <gautam.bipin () gmail com>]

hi list,
we have had a series of linux(kernel) bugs reported lately... they
were own unique in nature. (o; ( As i haven't gone through each and
every to verify its types) On the other hand we have had products like
 stack guard, lib safe, grsecurity.net, se-linux bla..bla...blah! But,
still i don't hear any success stories i mean, an analytical report
which says....... using *** patch from the *** product to my default
kernel source from kernel.org made my machine immune to  * (a
particular bug)  targeted to my verson of kernel. We all know the
product isn't a myth and with a properly hardened OS it could save
your day....

BUT i was woundering, to what extent adding these extra security
measures are effective against the real attacks & bugs discovered in
the kernel. i hope you got my point. (Though, se-linux got
features..... lets me not re-describe it all rite now)

regards,
Bipin Gautam
