ulimit operation not permitted in sudo
Issue
With sudo-1.7.4p5-9.el6_2.x86_64, it was possible to issue the following command:
# sudo /bin/su frodo.u -c "bash -c 'ulimit -c unlimited;exit'"
With later versions, sudo-1.7.4p5-11.el6_3.x86_64, sudo-1.7.4p5-12.el6_3.x86_64 and
sudo-1.7.4p5-13.el6_3.x86_64, the same command gives the following:
bash: line 0: ulimit: core file size: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
