Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] libbpf: use SOCK_CLOEXEC when opening the netlink socket
Date:   Wed, 17 Mar 2021 17:28:58 +0530
Message-Id: <20210317115857.6536-1-memxor@gmail.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
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.
