            Bug ID: 277734
           Summary: [WTF] Open files with O_CLOEXEC by default to avoid
                    file handles leak
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Template Framework
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

FileSystemPOSIX opens files without the O_CLOEXEC file in openFile() and openTemporaryFile().
This can cause file handles to be leaked to subprocess.

For example, if the UIProcess opens content rules files from the ContentRuleListStore class between the NetworkProcess is spawned, the content rules file handles are leaked to the NetworkProcess.

It does not seem useful to open files without O_CLOEXEC.
