Hi, I'm heavily abusing CLOEXEC on a lot of file descriptors to fork & execve into a sandboxed mode for handling connections (for security reasons, as additional exploit mitigation of sorts).
Furthermore I'm using vfork for performance reasons and therefore cannot close the event loop by legitimate means (due to execve, I do not care about the leaked heap memory etc.). However this also means, the epoll FD (as an example) will remain open. - Can you set CLOEXEC on the epoll FD, please? - What is a hackish way to get that FD and do this myself until such a patch is available in the major distrubtions? Iterating over all file descriptors is not a solution. ;) Thanks, Georg _______________________________________________ libev mailing list libev@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libev
