Subject: [PATCH v8 10/12] selftests/landlock: Check that coredump sockets stay unrestricted
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:48:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327164838.38231-11-gnoack3000@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327164838.38231-1-gnoack3000@gmail.com>

Even when a process is restricted with the new
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX right, the kernel can continue writing
its coredump to the configured coredump socket.

In the test, we create a local server and rewire the system to write
coredumps into it.  We then create a child process within a Landlock
domain where LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX is restricted and make
the process crash.  The test uses SO_PEERCRED to check that the
connecting client process is the expected one.

Includes a fix by Mickaël Salaün for setting the EUID to 0 (see [1]).
