To be clear... I am also advocating scrapping it and rebuilding.  I
just think that after it's rebuilt, you should use Suhosin and
Mod_Security and then use AppArmor to chroot it.  (There are other
ways to chroot... I just like AppArmor the best.)

AppArmor can also do cool stuff with your back end databases.

You can also look at CloudFlare and Incapsula if you want additional
cloudy protection.
