Subject: [PATCH for-4.19 v2] tools/xl: Open xldevd.log with O_CLOEXEC
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2024 17:16:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240621161656.63576-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

`xl devd` has been observed leaking /var/log/xldevd.log into children.

Note this is specifically safe; dup2() leaves O_CLOEXEC disabled on newfd, so
after setting up stdout/stderr, it's only the logfile fd which will close on
exec().

Also entirely speculative based on the QubesOS ticket.

v2:
 * Extend the commit message to explain why stdout/stderr aren't closed by
   this change

For 4.19.  This bugfix was posted earlier, but fell between the cracks.
