# that of the creator or current uid for the IPC object
# 2) If the IPC object is group-accessible and the egid doesn't
# match that of the creator or current gid for the IPC object
# It's a common error to grant too much permission to these objects,
# with impact ranging from denial of service and information leaking to
# privilege escalation. This feature was developed in response to

# The blackhole feature as-implemented is equivalent to the FreeBSD
# blackhole feature, as it prevents RST responses to all packets, not
# just SYNs. Under most application behavior this causes no

# connections in a way that cleanly terminates them on the remote
# end, leaving the remote host in LAST_ACK state. Because of this
# side-effect and to prevent intentional LAST_ACK DoSes, this
# feature also adds automatic mitigation against such attacks.
# The mitigation drastically reduces the amount of time a socket
# can spend in LAST_ACK state. If you're using haproxy and not
# all servers it connects to have this option enabled, consider
