fs/exec.c del kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 2.6.37 no habilita el "OOM Killer" para evaluar el uso de la memoria de pila por los arrays de los (1) argumentos y (2) entorno, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de la memoria) a través de una llamada del sistema exec modificada. También conocido como "OOM dodging issue". Relacionado con la vulnerabilidad CVE-2010-3858.
