[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#888512: Clamd suddenly eat up all file descriptors, 'Too many open files' error

[Christian Balzer]

Hello,

I can very much and very urgently confirm this bug.
It started happening today on several servers here, unsurprisingly first
the ones with the smallest number of default file descriptors configured.

Interestingly even though the clamd version number is the same, Stretch
servers are unaffected, while Jessie ones very much are.

Alas while I'm able to upgrade most servers, 2 I definitely can not at
this time, so that's not a solution/

Regards,

Christian
