![]() As long as recvmsg() or recvmmsg() is used with cmsg, it is not possible to avoid receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS. This behaviour has occasionally been flagged as problematic, as it can be (ab)used to trigger DoS during close(), for example, by passing a FUSE-controlled fd or a hung NFS fd. For instance, as noted on the uAPI Group page [0], an untrusted peer could send a file descriptor pointing to a hung NFS mount and then close it. Once the receiver calls recvmsg() with msg_control, the descriptor is automatically installed, and then the responsibility for the final close() now falls on the receiver, which may result in blocking the process for a long time. Regarding this, systemd calls cmsg_close_all() [1] after each recvmsg() to close() unwanted file descriptors sent via SCM_RIGHTS. However, this cannot work around the issue at all, because the final fput() may still occur on the receiver's side once sendmsg() with SCM_RIGHTS succeeds. Also, even filtering by LSM at recvmsg() does not work for the same reason. Thus, we need a better way to refuse SCM_RIGHTS at sendmsg(). Let's introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS to disable SCM_RIGHTS. Note that this option is enabled by default for backward compatibility.
