This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scm: fix MSG_CTRUNC setting condition for SO_PASSSEC to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scm-fix-msg_ctrunc-setting-condition-for-so_passsec.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0783d91bdf78e9b0eb2e8ffb641fad4efba4c4e4 Author: Alexander Mikhalitsyn <alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 13 12:32:11 2023 +0100 scm: fix MSG_CTRUNC setting condition for SO_PASSSEC [ Upstream commit a02d83f9947d8f71904eda4de046630c3eb6802c ] Currently, kernel would set MSG_CTRUNC flag if msg_control buffer wasn't provided and SO_PASSCRED was set or if there was pending SCM_RIGHTS. For some reason we have no corresponding check for SO_PASSSEC. In the recvmsg(2) doc we have: MSG_CTRUNC indicates that some control data was discarded due to lack of space in the buffer for ancillary data. So, we need to set MSG_CTRUNC flag for all types of SCM. This change can break applications those don't check MSG_CTRUNC flag. Cc: "David S.
