How many people get frustrated with SELinux and simply disable it?

I don't know, but stupidity appears to be an infinite resource. I tend
to believe that if you disable SELinux and you get exploited by
something that SELinux would prevent, then the only thing at fault is
*you*.

However in this case, both a sysctl and SELinux prevent what this
attack claims to do, so if you disable SELinux it still won't work.
