the problem is that the SELinux proponents keep claiming that if everyone just used SELinux there would be no possibility of security problems in linux. and further, because people refuse to use SELinux, all security exploits are then the result of this decision.
that may be overstating this slightly, but not by much.
usually I consider the posts by PaXTeam to be extreme in their claims, but in this case I think the point that is being made that SELinux does not defend against malware in content is absolutly correct.
