android-cloexec-accept4

accept4() 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:

accept4(sockfd, addr, addrlen, SOCK_NONBLOCK);

// becomes

accept4(sockfd, addr, addrlen, SOCK_NONBLOCK | SOCK_CLOEXEC);
