exec: Use sane stack rlimit under secureexec
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
For a secureexec, before memory layout selection has happened, reset the
stack rlimit to something sane to avoid the caller having control over
the resulting layouts.

$ ulimit -s

$ ulimit -s unlimited
$ /bin/sh -c 'ulimit -s'

$ sudo /bin/sh -c 'ulimit -s'
