I gave misc.c a quick skim before looking into the kernel: int unix_listener(const char *path, int backlog, int unlink_first) { struct sockaddr_un sunaddr; int saved_errno, sock;
memset(&sunaddr, 0, sizeof(sunaddr)); sunaddr.sun_family = AF_UNIX; if (strlcpy(sunaddr.sun_path, path, sizeof(sunaddr.sun_path)) >= sizeof(sunaddr.sun_path)) { error("%s: \"%s\" too long for Unix domain socket", __func__, path); errno = ENAMETOOLONG; return -1; } sock = socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); ... if (bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&sunaddr, sizeof(sunaddr)) < 0) { They memset 0 the struct, and pass the size of the struct. So I suspect OpenSSH is fine.
