Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fsidd: require root credentials on abstract socket
Date: Sun,  6 Sep 2026 21:13:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907011328.21425-1-okorniev@redhat.com> (raw)

fsidd listens on an abstract UNIX domain socket which has no
filesystem-level access control.  Any local unprivileged user can
connect and issue mutating commands (get_or_create_fsidnum) that
grow the reexport database without limit, degrading mountd
performance.

Add a SO_PEERCRED check to reject connections from non-root
clients.  The only legitimate client is mountd, which runs as root.

Fixes: 6fd2732d ("export: Add fsidd")
