  OTP-12445    Application(s): erts

               Fix getifaddrs realloc pointer error

               When a buffer was exhausted and subsequently
               reallocated, we could get an unsafe pointer pointing to
               faulty memory.

               For this to occur we would need to have a large number
               of interfaces and a reallocation of memory to a lower
               addresses.

               The symptom would be garbage returned from
               erlang:port_control(Port, 25, [])
               (prim_inet:getifaddrs(Port) resulting in a badarg) or a
               segmentation fault.


  OTP-12446    Application(s): erts

               Don't close all file descriptors twice in child_setup

               The commit c2b4eab25c907f453a394d382c04cd04e6c06b49
               introduced an error in which child_setup erroneously
               tried to close all file descriptors twice.

               Use closefrom() if available when closing all file
               descriptors.

               The function closefrom() was only used in the vfork()
               case before but is now also used in the fork() case if
               available.


  OTP-12447    Application(s): erts

               During a crashdump all file descriptors are closed to
               ensure the closing of the epmd port and to reserve a
               file descriptor for the crashdump file.

               If a driver (third party library) cannot handle closing
               of sockets this could result in a segmentation fault in
               which case a crashdump would not be produced. This is
               now fixed by only closing inets sockets via an
               emergency close callback to the driver and thus closing
               the epmd socket.

  OTP-12436    Application(s): inets
               Related Id(s): seq12786

               mod_alias now handles https-URIs properly

               Consistent view of configuration parameter
               keep_alive_timeout, should be presented in the
               httpd:info/[1,2] function in the same unit as it is
               inputted.


 --- Improvements and New Features ---

  OTP-12429    Application(s): inets

               Gracefully handle invalid content-lenght headers
               instead of crashing in list_to_integer.
