android-cloexec-socket
======================

``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:

.. code-block:: c++

  socket(domain, type, SOCK_STREAM);

  // becomes

  socket(domain, type, SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_CLOEXEC);
