:: Linux doesn't support that kind of security out of the box

IIRC, that was one of the advantages of iptables over ipchains, which is why iptables are the new preferred Linux network control method.

iptables doesn't really let you do per app stuff. The big advantage of iptables over ipchains is the connection tracking features.

Besides, if wanted to block a local application from sending data, the obvious place to do that is on the kernel call level, and not down at the packet level.
