This hook is called to check the path of a named unix socket before a connection is initiated. The peer socket may be inspected as well. Why existing hooks are unsuitable: Existing socket hooks, security_unix_stream_connect(), security_unix_may_send(), and security_socket_connect() don't provide TOCTOU-free / namespace independent access to the paths of sockets. (1) We cannot resolve the path from the struct sockaddr in existing hooks. This requires another path lookup. A change in the path between the two lookups will cause a TOCTOU bug. (2) We cannot use the struct path from the listening socket, because it may be bound to a path in a different namespace than the caller, resulting in a path that cannot be referenced at policy creation time.
