If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0548cb9cbc64d221fb3851f7c8a0ccb8bc095acb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dingtianhong <dingtianhong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:02:04 +0000 Subject: af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIAL when dest socket is NULL From: dingtianhong <dingtianhong@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 14134f6584212d585b310ce95428014b653dfaf6 ] SCM_SCREDENTIALS should apply to write() syscalls only either source or destination socket asserted SOCK_PASSCRED. The original implememtation in maybe_add_creds is wrong, and breaks several LSB testcases ( i.e. /tset/LSB.os/netowkr/recvfrom/T.recvfrom).
