Dear XFOCUS Security Team, A more complicated variant of this vulnerability (exhausting all available descriptors and closing standard one) was reported by Joost Pol for BSD systems. It's very funny to see commercial Unix variants were not checked against it and simplest variant of this attack was not fixed for 5 years.
