What is the function of kernel parameter 'randomize_va_space'?
Issue
- What is the use of 'randomize_va_space' ?
- If the kernel parameter is changed from ' kernel.randomize_va_space = 1' to 'kernel.randomize_va_space = 0', will it have any impact on the server ?
- Is there any impact to server if the ASLR feature is disabled?
