references/memdbg-cleanup-handler-leak.md

This is documentation and example code that demonstrates a critical resource-leak bug pattern in nginx modules (missing pool cleanup handlers for opened file descriptors). It is not malicious code; instead it shows how a programmer mistake can exhaust file descriptors and cause outages. Fix is to register cleanup handlers immediately after acquiring external resources. No evidence of backdoors, exfiltration, or other malware.
