Omapi code doesn’t free socket descriptors when empty message is received allowing denial-of-service

It was found that the DHCP daemon did not properly clean up closed OMAPI connections in certain cases. A remote attacker able to connect to the OMAPI port could use this flaw to exhaust file descriptors in the DHCP daemon, leading to a denial of service in the OMAPI functionality.(CVE-2017-3144)
