Have you guys seen this?
photon.codes
It claims there's a 32-bit integer overflow in XNU that can cause an exhaustion of TCP ports after 49.7 days of uptime.
I'm a little sceptical this is actually a problem in XNU, given that most iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, etc. probably have quite extensive uptimes and only really reboot on updates. Of course we do get an update more than once every 49 days usually, but still. I've not heard much talk about this. Our build servers at work are still on Sequoia so not sure if they were supposed to be affected, but they also have very long uptimes.
Have any of you run into this?
