Huge number of "rpm -qf /etc/oracle-release" processes

We have Oracle RAC database running on two nodes/servers, below is the configuration:

* Servers OS: Oracle Linux 7.8 with 4.14.35-1902.301.1.el7uek.x86_64 kernel.

* Oracle RAC/database : Oracle RAC 19.6

* Oracle ACFS: ACFS-9212: Driver build version = 19.0.0.0.0 (19.6.0.0.0).

Recently the Linux admin noticed huge number of "rpm -qf /etc/oracle-release" processes in one of the two servers, and they caused the server out of processes.

[oracle]$ ps -ef | grep -i "rpm -qf"

root    300   1 0 Apr08 ?    00:00:00 rpm -qf /etc/oracle-release

root    302   1 0 Apr07 ?    00:00:00 rpm -qf /etc/oracle-release

root    303   1 0 Apr05 ?    00:00:00 rpm -qf /etc/oracle-release

root    308   1 0 Apr06 ?    00:00:00 rpm -qf /etc/oracle-release

Anyone has seen this before or got an idea where do those processes come from?

Howdy, Stranger!
