Package: minidlna Version: 1.3.0+dfsg-2.2+deb12u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
`minidlna` has filled up all space on my partition by writing a 82G log file /var/log/minidlna/minidlna.log. ```console $ grep -cF 'minidlna.c:166: error: accept(http): Too many open files' minidlna.log 1_534_835_206 ``` Some bad behaving client seems to open too many connections, which `minidlna` does not seem to close and so gets into a situation, where no new connections can be opened. As the client continues doing that, each attempt logs a line until the partition if full. This has happened to me several times by now: Other services then stop working as they have no free space left. In the past other actions like re-scanning all media files has also lead to the situation, where too many log messages used up all available space. Sadly `minidlna` disables logging to `journald`: https://sources.debian.org/patches/minidlna/1.3.0%2Bdfsg-2.2%2Bdeb12u1/09-do-not-disable-logs-with-systemd.patch/ 1. `minidlna` should close idle connections after some (configurable) timeout. 2. `minidlna` could crash in such a situation, so it get restarted by `systemd` with a clean environment where all previous connections are closed. 3. `minidlna` should log to `journald` which allows log^Wjournal file rotation without the need to reload or restart `minidlna`. 4. `minidlna` could have some DoS prevention and block bad behaving clients.
