---------------------------------

             Summary: safe_asterisk ulimit can be above kernel max
                 Key: ASTERISK-26077
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26077
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Contrib/General
            Reporter: rsw686
            Severity: Critical


safe_asterisk calculates the ulimit based on file-max divided by two. On certain systems this value can be above the kernel max, which results in the open file limit not being applied. Some research shows the kernel max is 1024 * 1024 and I am able to successfully execute ulimit -n 1048576.

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
2466684

2466684 / 2 = 1233342

ulimit -n 1233342
-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
