| |
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!
