ossi added a comment.
as i certainly mentioned somewhere else already, this is redundant with putting the socket in a safe place. but fair enough ... INLINE COMMENTS > fdreceiver.cpp:67 > if (client > 0) { > - FDMessageHeader msg; > - if (::recvmsg(client, msg.message(), 0) == 2) { > - ::memcpy(&m_fileDes, CMSG_DATA(msg.cmsgHeader()), sizeof > m_fileDes); > + // Receive fd only if socket owner is root > + bool acceptConnection = false; i'd append "(our setuid helper)" to that - i wondered for a moment why the limitation.
