SELinux had more work on Mandatory Access Control, IIRC, which limits
file/memory sharing between apps and users. grsecurity features
hack-proofing such as non-executable stacks and pages.

I don't know much about these projects firsthand, but you can find more
info at:

home of PaX for Linux. As PaX is a part of grsecurity, so is PaX made of
several patches. PaX is also in OpenBSD as a now-standard part of the
new dist--uh, tree? release?
