On FreeBSD 12.0 — but not on FreeBSD 11.0 and 12.2 —, I'm seeing a test
failure of the Gnulib 'passfd' test:

  recvfd: Permission denied
  FAIL test-passfd (exit status: 16)

It fails with the same error, even when run as root.

Does anyone knows the reason?

Is it related to this advisory? [1][2]

CCing Daniel because libvirt/src/util/virsocket.c has similar code.
