Hi Marc, I'm wondering why you removed the security vulnerability flag. This causes a denial of service for at least MTA software and probably any other software that relies on /var or / not being full.
PulseAudio is opening /dev/snd/timer until its maximum number of open files is reached. At that point. PulseAudio logs the same two messages until /var/log's available space is full. This causes subsequent log messages to be lost, and provides opportunities for several security- related events to occur without even a remote chance of detection. Furthermore, it causes the failure of MTA software even if /var/mail is _not_ full. -- PulseAudio opens too many files, locks up, and fills up root fs (/var/log) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
