REDHAT-BUG-1209781

First published: Wed Apr 08 2015(Updated: )

The following issue was found in node: The SIGQUIT routine fails to close the app leaving the IP sockets open and in some cases DDOS the remote site if a user "ctrl-]+q" out of a telnet session. Also the app fails to close and more can be spawned by a crafty malicious user thus bringing the system to a point of no memory available.
