Subject: [PATCH 2/3] socket checks for uds fds transfer

This patch checks whether another user is trying to send a chrooted application by
a non-root user a fd to a directory, which will allow it to escape.
By preventing this kind of fd transfer to chrooted applications by non-root users,
certain security risks are mitigated.
