Fix-CVE-2012-6687 - remote attackers cause a denial of service (crash)
via a large number of connections (http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2012-6687/).
use poll in os_unix.c instead of select to avoid problem with > 1024 connections.
The patch libfcgi_2.4.0-8.3.debian.tar.xz is taken from the below link:
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfcgi/2.4.0-8.3)
The next release of libfcgi is 2.4.1 which may have this fix is yet to be released

Hello Niranjan,

Could you fix your mail configuration so that your From is:

	Niranjan Reddy <niranjan.reddy@rockwellcollins.com>

Indeed, the From: field gets used as the Git author.

I don't understand, I had a look at this Debian tarball, and couldn't
spot the fix. Also below, you're signing off the patch, which seems to
indicate your are the author of it.

Could you clarify ?

Please use Niranjan Reddy and not niranjan.reddy.

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for your inputs . I'll change my mail configuration as :

 Niranjan Reddy <niranjan.reddy@rockwellcollins.com> .

 You can find the patch in the debain/patches folder with file name "poll".

Anton Kortunov <toshic.toshic@gmail.com> is the author of the patch and
i'll change it .

Thanks,
Niranjan Reddy.
Rockwell Collins
