Subject: [PATCH] Avoid leaking netlink socket fd to external programs
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2009 09:18:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49D9C8F1.9050209@tuffmail.co.uk> (raw)
The netlink socket is now used by udev event processes. We should take
care not to pass it to the programs they execute. This is the same way
the inotify fd was handled.
