There are currently a bunch of places where we spawn processes, and those processes unintentionally inherit our network socket FDs. This unfortunately is not always easy to fix (especially on Unix-ish platforms), but setting CLOEXEC on socket FDs should at least ameliorate the problem. It doesn't rule out the possibility of FDs being inherited in a race, but it should at least prevent it most of the time.
