Th AF_ALG socket was missing a security label (e.g. SELinux) which means that socket was in "unlabeled" state. This was recently demonstrated in the cryptsetup package (cryptsetup v1.6.5 and later.) See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115120 This patch clones the sock's label from the parent sock and resolves the issue (similar to AF_BLUETOOTH protocol family).
