    /* known for over a year, fixed in grsec
     bug is due to a bad limit on the max size of the stack for 32bit apps
     on a 64bit OS. Instead of them being limited to 1/4th of a 32bit 
     address space, they're limited to 1/4th of a 64bit address space -- oops!
     in combination with vanilla ASLR, it triggers a BUG() as the stack 
     tries to expand around the address space when shifted
     Below mmap_min_addr you say? uh oh! ;)
    
     Reported to Ted Tso in December 2009
     Linus today (Aug 13 2010) silently fixes tangential issue:
     http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=320b2b8de12698082609ebbc1a17165727f4c893
    
     The second bug here is that the memory usage explodes within the 
     kernel from a single 128k allocation in userland
     The explosion of memory isn't accounted for by any task so it won't
     be terminated by the OOM killer
    
     curious what actual vuln was involved that they were trying
     to silently fix, as I don't think it's the one below
     clobbering data in a suid app by growing the stack into the mapping
     for the image? ;)I smell privesc...mumblings of X server/recursion
    
     ulimit -s unlimited
     ./64bit_dos
    
     SELinux is here to save us though with its fine-grained controls!
     Wait, it doesn't?
     Clearly the solution is to throw a buggy KVM on top of it
     Not enough?Ok, we'll throw in an extra SELinux, that'll really 
     throw those hackers off when they use the same exact exploit on the 
     host as they do on the guest!
     COMMON CRITERIA HERE I COME!
