From 779f4e1c6c7c661db40dfebd6dd6bda7b5f88aa3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 11:28:38 -0800 Subject: Revert "exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This reverts commit 04e35f4495dd560db30c25efca4eecae8ec8c375. SELinux runs with secureexec for all non-"noatsecure" domain transitions, which means lots of processes end up hitting the stack hard-limit change that was introduced in order to fix a race with prlimit(). That race fix will need to be redesigned.
