That initial fix just changed a DoS through assert() into a DoS through
fd exhaustion. This is being handled in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4242 .
Please let's handle this upstream first and not put out another USN in
haste -- after all, this is just a local DoS, so far from being a
catastrophe (you can DoS the machine as user in lots of other ways).
