Hi,
I came acros this (2.4.17):
fs/binfmt_aout.c:
rlim = current->rlim[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_cur;
if (rlim >= RLIM_INFINITY)
rlim = ~0;
if (ex.a_data + ex.a_bss > rlim)
return -ENOMEM;
this looks like it will disable any limit checks, but no similar
code is binfmt_elf so maybe it should be removed altogether?
