Did you really tried the exploit? I connect to the server (that is sleeping) and _then_ I always close the socket, so the file descriptor gets released, but the newsk in CONNECTING state is still allocated awating for a server action. The DoS is that there's no limit in the number of these peer-newsk. Do you see my point?
