NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocfs2-2.6.18-92.1.10.0.1.el5PAE package and not the ocfs2-2.6.18-92.1.10.0.1.el5PAE package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Linux kernel 2.6.17, and other versions before 2.6.22, does not check when a user attempts to set RLIMIT_CPU to 0 until after the change is made, which allows local users to bypass intended resource limits.
