Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2018-08-16 17:50:50 UTC
MITRE description:

The linux-2.4.21-mlock.patch in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not properly maintain the mlock page count when one process unlocks pages that belong to another process, which allows local users to mlock more memory than specified by the rlimit.
