There is a flaw in sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl::close() which leads to leaking socket resources after JDK-8224829.

The close method calls duplexCloseOutput() and duplexCloseInput(). In case of an exception in any of these methods, the call to closeSocket() is bypassed, and the underlying Socket may not be closed.

This manifests in a real life leak after JDK-8224829 has introduced a call to getSoLinger() on the path of duplexCloseOutput -> closeNotify. If socket impl / OS socket hadn't been created yet it is done at that place. But then after duplexCloseOutput eventually fails with a SocketException since the socket wasn't connected, closing fails to call Socket::close().

This problem can be reproduced by this code:
		        SSLSocket sslSocket = (SSLSocket)SSLSocketFactory.getDefault().createSocket();
		        sslSocket.getSSLParameters();
		        sslSocket.close();

This is what happens when SSLContext.getDefault().getDefaultSSLParameters() is called, with close() being eventually called by the finalizer.
