---------------------------------
Summary: SO_REUSEADDR allows for socket hijacking on Windows
Key: THRIFT-1692
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1692
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C++ - Library
Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.9
Environment: Worst on WinXP, slightly less bad on Win Server 2003+
Reporter: Ben Craig
Fix For: 0.9
SO_REUSEADDR is a fine idea for sockets on POSIX operating systems.
SO_REUSEADDR on Windows operates differently though. This MSDN article
explains the behavior:

Long story short, with SO_REUSEADDR, a hostile process owned by another user
can steal your port.
