[Bug 293000] Re: hardy: openssh-server oom_adj can lead to denial of service

[ksuehring]

I think the debian patch had been applied in releases after Hardy. But
the daemon only resets the oom_adj value that it was originally called
with. So in Jaunty a DHCP restart script which had the oob_adj value of
-17 itself caused the same effect. See bug report #390556.

I have not checked lucid yet. But the issue itself caused me a lot of
headaches and it would have been nice if it would have been fixed back
in 2008 in a Ubuntu version which is labeled "LTS".
