| Description: | From the Red Hat bugzilla entry:
The commit referenced in the Fixes tag incorrectly accounted the number of in-flight fds over a unix domain socket to the original opener of the file-descriptor. This allows another process to arbitrary deplete the original file-openers resource limit for the maximum of open files. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
