Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: use SOCK_CLOEXEC when opening the netlink socket
Date:   Wed, 17 Mar 2021 16:15:14 +0530
Message-Id: <20210317104512.4705-1-memxor@gmail.com>

Precedence: bulk

Otherwise, there exists a small window between the opening and closing
of the socket fd where it may leak into processes launched by some other
thread.
