Subject: [PATCH] exec: Limit arg stack to at most _STK_LIM / 4 * 3
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 11:57:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170707185729.GA70967@beast> (raw)
To avoid pathological stack usage or the need to special-case setuid
execs, just limit all arg stack usage to at most _STK_LIM / 4 * 3 (6MB).
