Hello L4 Hackers,
a long time ago (*), Jochen Liedtke described a potential denial-of-service
attack against the L4 kernel by -IIRC- requesting a huge number of mappings,
thereby exhausting kernel memory. Does this issue still exist in the current
L4 implementations or has it been solved (How?).
Kind Regards
Rob
