Description
Impact
When using the recommended "best-effort" mode, Go-Landlock did not restrict the TCP bind() and connect() operations any more when they were requested. This affects Go-Landlock users to whom both of the following conditions apply:
• They use Landlock rulesets that are supposed to restrict networking (through `landlock.V4`, `landlock.V5`, or self-configured).
• These Landlock rulesets are used in best-effort mode.
Typically, affected code uses the Go-Landlock API like this (the crucial part being the combination of `V4`/`V5` and `.BestEffort()`):
```
err := landlock.V5.BestEffort().Restrict(...)
```
• This is a bug in the Go-Landlock library and does not affect programs that use Landlock via C or other language bindings.
• The bug only affects networking restrictions. File system restrictions continue to work as expected.
