RE: SELinux security in the face of single bit errors

Hello,

The reason I ask about pax and/or execshield is because they are designed to protect from this type of issue. Besides I see a great need for pax/execshield to go hand in hand with selinux.

No and no.
We are most interested in how single-bit errors affect security software in general, rather than the protection of some specific software. If we continue the project beyond this semester (likely if initial results offer some hope) we may branch out to look at more than basic SELinux.
