First, it can constrain the WordPress process so that whatever is needed to get the exploit into WordPress is blocked. Second, even if that hole is wide open, it could prevent such a shell from being launched. And third, it could constrain suspicious outgoing connections, making a reverse shell attack impossible. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ selinux mailing list -- selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
