Description
Proper permissions must now be defined when creating IPC (inter-process communication) resources (shm, semaphore, and msgqueue). The flag argument (value) can no longer be just IPC_CREAT. Specifying only IPC_CREAT means that the IPC resource is created with absolutely no permissions, and will result in EACCESS error.
How to reproduce
int msgid;
struct msqid_ds buf = {0};
msgid = msgget(1000, 512); /* returns with errno = 13 */
Solution
Starting from the next Open C release, IPC_CREAT has to be OR-ed with READ (0400) or/and WRITE (0200) permission.
