Description:
|
| 4 |
The process scheduler in the Linux kernel 2.6.16 gives preference to
|
| 5 |
"interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which allows local
|
| 6 |
users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption), as described in
|
| 7 |
"Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."
