Bug#435385: iceape browser leaks TCP sockets to children

[Jasen Betts]

Package: iceape
Version: 1.0.9-0etch1
Severity: minor


dunno if this is a security risk but after downloading a PDF and
selecting open with /usr/bin/xpdf  iceape passes TCP sockets to the
instance of xpdf it spawns to open the downloaded file.

lsof(8) output:

xpdf.bin   5982       jasen   44u     IPv4    1246027 TCP address.witheld:35915->www.eecs.umich.edu:www (CLOSE_WAIT)
