Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.23-1
Severity: normal

"man 2 recvmsg" says:
       MSG_CTRUNC
              indicates that some control data were discarded due to lack of 
space in the buffer for ancillary data.

That doesn't mention that MSG_CTRUNC can be set due to a permission error also.
SELinux can deny file descriptor passing, in which case the receiving
application gets a message with MSG_CTRUNC set and controllen zero!

See here for one example where this happens
