The search_binary_handler function in exec.c in Linux 2.4 kernel on 64-bit
x86 architectures does not check a return code for a particular function
call when virtual memory is low, which allows local users to cause a denial
of service (panic), as demonstrated by running a process using the bash
ulimit -v command.
