`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);
