SubjectSocket stuck in CLOSE_WAIT state
There's a DoS attack going around on the net: this particular attack
focuses on IDENT (port 113) and leaves sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state.

Here's an example (from netstat -ntu)

tcp 34 0 194.222.9.116:113 204.60.30.67:1386 CLOSE_WAIT

Seems if there's data in the queue, the socket will never close.
This is on 2.2.6.

Someone else reported the same thing with 2.2.5, he had a socket in
CLOSE_WAIT over 7 days!

Cheers,
Alex
