Description
While validating XML signature, ResolverLocalFilesystem.engineResolveURI() opens a new Input Stream which is never closed leading to leakage in file descriptor.
When large number of files are validated, new file descriptor allocation might fail causing the application to fail.
Comments
Fix Request [8u] Clean backport from 11u, removing a file descriptor leak with a try-finally block. Fix is already in Oracle's 8u since 8u291.
