Re:Linux PIE/stack corruption by saurik on Friday September 29, 2017 @06:12AM (#15364040)
It seems like the idea is that if you pass a very large number of arguments to the process you can force the size of the initial stack to be sufficiently large as to trigger this bug with extremely high probability even on binaries where you otherwise would not have expected the issue; like: it isn't a bug that is being exploited by a weird executable file, it is a true bug in the kernel that can be coaxed to mess with random PIE binaries to gain access to their setuid user access of special capability bits.
