From 272d484283883fa9ff95b69d924fff6cd34842f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon McVittie Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 14:45:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sysdeps-unix: On MSG_CTRUNC, close the fds we did receive MSG_CTRUNC indicates that we have received fewer fds that we should have done because the buffer was too small, but we were treating it as though it indicated that we received *no* fds. If we received any, we still have to make sure we close them, otherwise they will be leaked. On the system bus, if an attacker can induce us to leak fds in this way, that's a local denial of service via resource exhaustion.
