I didn't see the mail for this, but I've reviewed the case history on
sac.sfbay. It seems reasonable, but I do have some questions:
1) Can an ill-behaved application cause bad things to happen to the TCP
stack by setting RTO or abort timers too high? I'm specifically
thinking that by setting these timers to a large value, that it might be
possible to cause out of control consumption of resources or exhaustion
of TCP port numbers....
2) Perhaps setting some of these values should require a privilege?
3) Ultimately, have the implications of these changes been reviewed from
a security standpoint?
