ACCEPT and DONE are the two downcalls of the handshake genl
family, both intended for use by the trusted handshake agent
(tlshd). ACCEPT already requires GENL_ADMIN_PERM; DONE has
no privilege check at all.
The fd-lookup in handshake_nl_done_doit() only confirms that
some pending handshake request exists for the supplied sockfd;
it does not authenticate the sender. An unprivileged process
that guesses or observes a valid sockfd can therefore submit
a DONE with HANDSHAKE_A_DONE_STATUS == 0, leaving the kernel
consumer to proceed as if the handshake succeeded. A non-zero
status on a forged DONE tears down a legitimate in-flight
handshake before tlshd can report its real result.
