[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | GnuTLS leaks file descriptors in child processes (#985)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Remi Denis-Courmont commented:


The problem is another thread doing something unrelated to GnuTLS. GnuTLS leaks its file descriptor to forked children of other threads. The access rules on `gnutls_session_t` are irrelevant here.

The point really is that libraries running in potentially multithread programs must set close-on-exec atomically regardless of their own internal threading rules.
