socket()
should include SOCK_CLOEXEC
in its type argument to avoid the
file descriptor leakage. Without this flag, an opened sensitive file would
remain open across a fork+exec to a lower-privileged SELinux domain.
Examples:
socket(domain, type, SOCK_STREAM);
// becomes
socket(domain, type, SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_CLOEXEC);
