I have been managing exploit mitigation on Linux for over a decade and am
completely convinced that you can not protect a system from a user. There
are so many exploits that are accessible if you have any sort of
programming tools installed.

The best way to keep a system safe is to keep users from creating
interactive sessions.

There is simply no way to trust a machine on which a user can gain shell
access.
