Linux kernel source tree
3f84d577b7
For SOCK_STREAM embryo sockets, the SO_PASS{CRED,PIDFD,SEC} options
are inherited from the parent listen()ing socket.
Currently, this inheritance happens at accept(), because these
attributes were stored in sk->sk_socket->flags and the struct socket
is not allocated until accept().
This leads to unintentional behaviour.
When a peer sends data to an embryo socket in the accept() queue,
unix_maybe_add_creds() embeds credentials into the skb, even if
neither the peer nor the listener has enabled these options.
If the option is enabled, the embryo socket receives the ancillary
data after accept(). If not, the data is silently discarded.
This conservative approach works for SO_PASS{CRED,PIDFD,SEC}, but
would not for SO_PASSRIGHTS; once an SCM_RIGHTS with a hung file
descriptor was sent, it'd be game over.
To avoid this, we will need to preserve SOCK_PASSRIGHTS even on embryo
sockets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
