Operating systems with a shared memory implementation based on or influenced by the 4.4BSD code may be vulnerable to a denial of service attack The problem exists because you can mmap() or shmget() as much memory as you'd like bypassing rlimits. When you trigger pagefaults, the system will begin allocating the memory (it's not actually allocated at first) and run out. With System V IPC the memory remains allocated even after the process has stopped running.
*/


/*
 * This program can be used to exploit DoS bugs in the VM systems or utility
 * sets of certain OS's.
 *
 * Common problems:
 * 1. The system does not check rlimits for mmap and shmget (FreeBSD)
 * 2. The system never bothers to offer the ability to set the rlimits for
 *    virtual memory via shells, login process, or otherwise. (Linux)
 * 3. b. The system does not actually allocate shared memory until a page fault
 *       is triggered (this could be argued to be a feature - Linux, *BSD)
 *    a. The system does not watch to make sure you don't share more memory 
 *       than exists. (Linux, Irix, BSD?)
 * 4. With System V IPC, shared memory persists even after the process is
 *    gone. So even though the kernel may kill the process after it exhausts all
 *    memory from page faults, there still is 0 memory left for the system.
 *    (All)
 *
 * This program should compile on any architecture. SGI Irix is not
 * vulnerable. From reading The Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD it sounds
 * as if the BSDs should all be vulnerable. FreeBSD will mmap as much memory
 * as you tell it. I haven't tried page faulting the memory, as the system is
 * not mine. I'd be very interested to hear about OpenBSD...
 *
 * This program is provided for vulnerability evaluation ONLY. DoS's aren't
 * cool, funny, or anything else. Don't use this on a machine that isn't
 * yours!!!
