NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream procps package and not the procps package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Under some circumstances, this weakness allows a user who has access to run the “ps” utility on a machine, the ability to write almost unlimited amounts of unfiltered data into the process heap.
