// CVE-2018-14634
//
// Theory of operations: adjust the thread's # rlimit-in-effect around
// calls to the vulnerable get_arg_page() function so as to encompass
// the newly required _STK_LIM / 4 * 3 maximum.

// Complication: the rlimit is stored in a current-> structure that
// is shared across the threads of the process.  They may concurrently
// invoke this operation.

// First attempt ... don't overthink it, just permanently reduce the
// rlimit.
