Affected Facter version:
There are many places in facter where it using ruby's IO.read or IO.readlines
to read the contents of files in /proc. This is problematic, as it can cause
ruby to block definitely. It is better to use:
<pre>
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("/bin/cat #{uptime_file} 2>/dev/null")
</pre>
with an appropriate timeout. This issue was triggering
