Description

The class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling.action.ZipCompressAction leaves files open when an IO error takes place. Since FileInputStream and FileOutputStream have finalize() methods, the JVM should eventually close the appropriate resources though, but perhaps not before the files left open cause other problems.
