[ulogd2 PATCH v4 08/32] input: UNIXSOCK: remove stat of socket-path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When creating the UNIX socket, there is a TOCTOU race between the
stat(2) and bind(2) calls, and if the path is already bound, the bind(2)
call will fail in any case.  Remove the stat(2) call.

Tidy up a couple of error message.
