Is it intentional that you are both restricting the connection and the sending with the same flag (security_unix_may_send)? If an existing Unix Domain Socket gets passed in to a program from the outside (e.g. as stdout), shouldn't it still be possible that the program enables a Landlock policy and then still writes to it? (Does that work? Am I mis-reading the patch?)If a passed socket is already connected, then a write/send should work.If I'm reading unix_dgram_sendmsg() correctly, we'll always hit security_unix_may_send() for any UNIX socket type other than SOCK_SEQPACKET (meaning SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM), even if the socket is already connected, and then we'll do the landlock check. That's probably not the intended behavior for Landlock, unless I'm misreading the code? Maybe to get nice semantics it's necessary to add a parameter to security_unix_may_send() that says whether the destination address came from the caller or from the socket?
I think it would make sense to ignore connected sockets with security_unix_may_send() because it should already be controlled by security_unix_stream_connect(). This would still allow passed/inherited connected sockets to be used, which is an important feature and would be consistent with read/write on other passed FDs. This would not work with dgram sockets though. We need tests for this case and with different socket modes (inspired by the net_test.c:protocol variants).
