Most of the machinebecomes unusable, making this a very simple and effective DoSvulnerability.I cannot imagine why this retry was ever implemented, but it seemsrather useless and harmful to me. Let's remove it and fail withENAMETOOLONG instead. ### POC #### Reference No PoCs from references. #### Github - https://github.com/fkie-cad/nvd-json-data-feeds - https://github.com/oogasawa/Utility-security - https://github.com/w4zu/Debian_security
