+Subject: pam_limits: cap the default soft nofile limit read from pid 1 to FD_SETSIZE
+
+Cap the default soft nofile limit read from pid 1 to FD_SETSIZE since
+larger values can cause problems with fd_set overflow and systemd sets
+itself higher.
+

+https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4096d6f5879aef73e20dd7b62a01f447629945b0
+
+pam_limits reads the default limits from /proc/1/limits. Previously,
+using upstart, this resulted in a 1024 nofile soft limit on Ubuntu
+systems by default. Using systemd, this results in a limit of 65536
+instead. This is not the intention of systemd upstream. See systemd
+commit 4096d6f for an explanation of systemd's behaviour.
+
+If we want to make such a change to the default distribution soft limit
+in PAM, we should do it deliberately and carefully, not accidentally. A
+change should consider what uses select(2) and might inadvertently (and
+incorrectly) assume that file descriptors will always fit into an
+fd_set, what vulnerabilities or crashes the change could consequently
+create, and whether the protection now present with FORTIFY_SOURCE is
+suitably enabled in all relevant builds.
+
+So this keeps the soft limit at 1024 for now. The hard limit will rise
+to 65536 along with systemd. Anything that knows that it will not be
+buggy with respect to fd_set and FD_SETSIZE, such as by using poll(2) or
+epoll(7) instead of select(2), can always raise the soft limit itself
+without issue.
+
+20:54 <rbasak> slangasek: [...] I'm also not sure how to go about
+upstreaming this as pam_limits seems to be heavily patched already.
