There is a selinux package for php that can be used to wrap it with kernel
armor that, in an selinux way, can be used to block privilege escalations
and unauthorized file writes.

It still requires an selinux guru to totally hack the rules into a custom
form for a web app but the wrapper does exist.

This would make drupal and wordpress not quite so scary to run.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
