[Pkg-gnutls-maint] Bug#403613: the rndlinux module opens a file handle and never closes it

[Max Kellermann]

Package: libgcrypt11
Version: 1.2.3-2
Tags: patch

The function _gcry_rndlinux_gather_random() in cipher/rndlinux.c opens
two file handles (fd_random and fd_urandom) which are never closed.
Since it does not apply the FD_CLOEXEC flag, all subprocesses will
inherit these two handles without ever using them.

Please apply this patch which sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag.
