An issue exists in the size of the stack guard page on Linux, specifically a 4k stack guard page is not sufficiently large and can be jmp'ed over, this affects Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5 and previous versions (the stackguard page was introduced in 2010). (CVE-2017-1000364) The offset2lib patch as used by the Linux Kernel contains a vulnerability, if RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIMIT_INFINITY and 1 Gigabyte of memory is allocated (the maximum under the 1/4 restriction) then the stack will be grown down to 0x80000000, and as the PIE binary is mapped above 0x80000000 the minimum distance between the end of the PIE binary's read-write segment and the start of the stack becomes small enough that the stack guard page can be jumped over by an attacker. This is a different issue than CVE-2017-1000370 and CVE-2017-1000365. (CVE-2017-1000371)
