             Summary: Unreleased Resource: Sockets
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12331
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12331
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Eduardo Aguinaga
             Fix For: 3.0.5


Overview:
In May through June of 2016 a static analysis was performed on version 3.0.5 of 
the Cassandra source code. The analysis included an automated analysis using HP 
Fortify v4.21 SCA and a manual analysis utilizing SciTools Understand v4. The 
results of that analysis includes the issue below.

Issue:
Sockets are low level resources that must be explicitly released so subsequent 
callers will have access to previously used sockets. In the file 
RMIServerSocketFactoryImpl.java on lines 15-16 a socket is acquired and 
eventually returned to the caller on line 18.

If an exception is thrown by the code on line 17 the socket acquired on lines 
15-16 will not be released for subsequent reuse.

RMIServerSocketFactoryImpl.java, lines 13-19:
{code:java}
13 public ServerSocket createServerSocket(final int pPort) throws IOException
14 {
15     ServerSocket socket = ServerSocketFactory.getDefault()
16                                              .createServerSocket(pPort, 0, 
InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress());
17     socket.setReuseAddress(true);
18     return socket;
19 }
{code}
