jabberd-2.0s11 contains a file descriptor leak. I have seen my server eat up all available file descriptors, so this can very probably be exploited to construct a DOS attack.
Since the problems just reported by Mike Erdely might well be related, i now resubmit the patch.
Thanks.
The patch compiles and runs on i386-current. For testing it, i followed http://www.openbsd.org/porttest.html. Besides, i'm running it in production on 3.9-stable since August 2006.
I applied the patch to OPENBSD_4_0_BASE.
Mike, please test... Gerardo, i should appreciate your feedback, too.
So far so good. I'll let you know how it goes.
Yours, Ingo
