Yes, there sure are. We could for example call cap_rights_limit() on
the socket and whitelist the exacty set of actions that the program
needs.

That said, it wouldn't make a difference in the end. It looks like
rtsol/rtsold don't seem to drop any privileges or switch credentials
after startup, assuming I haven't overlooked anything. Even if we were
to restrict the raw socket, the process could always open a new one
later on.

I think it would make sense for now to just commit the patch that I
proposed. Will push it into the tree tomorrow.

Thanks,
