Public bug reported:
I identified a bug in the pam_limits.c source code for Ubuntu 16.04LTS,
as follows:
It appears that I managed to modify/"fix" the '*' unlimited memlock
error in pam_limits.c.
After compiling and running the modified code with the
/etc/security/limits.conf line of '* -m
This is the patch that I came up with to fix pam_limits.c
The repair was to add 2 lines to top of the parse_uid_range function:
if (range[0]== '*' )
return LIMIT_RANGE_NONE;
and to fix the Use/Case for limits set for the root user in parse_config_file:
if ( uid==0) { //don't process root
2 matches
