*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The System V IPC implementation in the kernel in Android before 6.0
2016-01-01 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (global kernel
resource consumption) by leveraging improper interaction between IPC
resource allocation and the memory manager, aka internal bug 22300191, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7613.
