Why do you consider this a security issue? Do you consider it an availability issue? I'm a bit confused why this shows up as a userspace allocation failure. glibc should switch to mmap (creating another arena) if sbrk fails. I thought we had logic for that in malloc, but the whole code is kind of convoluted, so it is difficult to be sure.
