ulimit -v workaround for the do_brk() bug does not work

Hi, Maybe this has been discussed earlier today on this list, but I've just joined it. I was told that doing a 'limit -v 2097151' would work around the do_brk() bug. Unfortunately it does not :-( The sample exploit posted on bugtraq manages to reboot my SuSE 8.2 machine (standard kernel) despite the ulimit. -- Erik Hensema (erik@hensema.net)
