[Bug 331535] [NEW] sync request - iperf fails to die when bind fails

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Iulian Udrea (iulian):

Binary package hint: iperf

When iperf is ran as an normal user, and you tell it to listen on a
privileged port (anything below 1024), it should die when the bind
fails. Instead, it acts as if its still listening on the port you
specified.

bwindle at wh-mon06:~$ apt-cache policy iperf
iperf:
  Installed: 2.0.4-1
  Candidate: 2.0.4-1

bwindle at wh-mon06:~$ iperf -s -p 500
bind failed: Permission denied

Server listening on TCP port 500

Sync request of iperf version 2.0.4-4 from Debian unstable.

 iperf  (2.0.4-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Die instead of warn on bind/connect fatal errors (thanks to Deny IP Any
     Any). (closes: #517239, #518033)
   * Add missing comma after ${shlibs:Depends} in the control file. Add
     Homepage in control file. (thanks to lintian).
