[jira] [Created] (QPID-3772) Qpid broker on Windows allows multiple, simultaneous processes to listen to broker port

Qpid broker on Windows allows multiple, simultaneous processes to listen to broker port
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: QPID-3772
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3772
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++ Broker
    Affects Versions: 0.14
         Environment: Windows broker
            Reporter: Chuck Rolke


Socket code on windows allows multiple, simultaneous listening processes on broker port. 
  C:\Windows\system32>netstat -anb

  TCP    0.0.0.0:5672           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
 [qpidd2.exe]
  TCP    0.0.0.0:5672           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
 [qpidd.exe]

This is a security issue as it allows a rogue process to hijack connections directed to the broker.

A simple first step is in Socket.cpp to change SO_REUSEADDR to SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE as described in
