Sockets bind to the same port in RHEL6.5 and later
Issue
- A Qt 4 Application which opens a listening socket can have another process bind and listen to the same port
- If a Qt4 application is listening to port 1234, another instance of the application can be launched to bind and listen to the same port
- The expected behaviour is that no two applications are supposed to listen to the same port
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and later
- Qt 4.6
