This patch series adds scoping mechanism for abstract UNIX sockets.
Closes: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/issues/7
Problem
=======
Abstract UNIX sockets are used for local inter-process communications
independent of the filesystem. Currently, a sandboxed process can
connect to a socket outside of the sandboxed environment, since Landlock
has no restriction for connecting to an abstract socket address(see more
details in [1,2]). Access to such sockets for a sandboxed process should
be scoped the same way ptrace is limited.

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231102.MaeWaepav8nu@digikod.net/
Solution
========
To solve this issue, we extend the user space interface by adding a new
"scoped" field to Landlock ruleset attribute structure. This field can
contains different rights to restrict different functionalities. For
abstract UNIX sockets, we introduce
"LANDLOCK_SCOPED_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET" field to specify that a ruleset
will deny any connection from within the sandbox domain to its parent
(i.e. any parent sandbox or non-sandbox processes).
Example
=======
Starting a listening socket with socat(1):
socat abstract-listen:mysocket -
Starting a sandboxed shell from $HOME with samples/landlock/sandboxer:
LL_FS_RO=/ LL_FS_RW=. LL_SCOPED="a" ./sandboxer /bin/bash
If we try to connect to the listening socket, the connection gets
refused.
socat - abstract-connect:mysocket --> fails
Notes of Implementation
=======================
* Using the "scoped" field provides enough compatibility and flexibility
to extend the scoping mechanism for other IPCs(e.g. signals).
* To access the domain of a socket, we use its credentials of the file's
FD which point to the credentials of the process that created the
socket (see more details in [3]). Cases where the process using the
socket has a different domain than the process created it are covered
in the "outside_socket" test.
