Not sure we have this one covered.  
 
Exec in Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly clear posix-timers in 
multi-threaded environments, which results in a resource leak and could allow 
a large number of multiple local users to cause a denial of service by using 
more posix-timers than specified by the quota for a single user.
