While better than what was there before, I still think that this code is incorrect. SSH should be using the user credential to create and bind forwarding sockets, not the root credential, and should not be attempting to guess the kernel's policy, even if that guess is now a bit more informed. However, I guess that more complete and desirable fix is more complicated...
