ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a code review of a Java-based file-processing microservice, you notice a method that opens a FileInputStream for every request but never closes the stream. After several hours of heavy traffic the container repeatedly crashes with the error "Too many open files." Which code change BEST prevents this security risk in accordance with secure resource-management practices?

  • Move the file-reading logic into a separate microservice so the main API thread pool is protected.

  • Increase the operating system's maximum open-file descriptor limit to accommodate more simultaneous streams.

  • Use a try-with-resources construct (or a finally block) to ensure the FileInputStream is always closed after use.

  • Wrap access to the FileInputStream in a synchronized block to avoid concurrent access issues.
