It is currently possible to change the mode and owner of the single anonymous inode in the kernel:

sigemptyset(&mask); sigaddset(&mask, SIGINT); sigaddset(&mask, SIGQUIT); ret = sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &mask, NULL); if (ret < 0) _exit(1); sfd = signalfd(-1, &mask, 0); if (sfd < 0) _exit(2); ret = fchown(sfd, 5555, 5555); if (ret < 0) _exit(3); ret = fchmod(sfd, 0777); if (ret < 0) _exit(3); _exit(4);}
This is a bug. It's not really a meaningful one because anonymous inodes don't really figure into path lookup and they cannot be reopened via /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr> and can't be used for lookup itself. So they can only ever serve as direct references.
But it is still completely bogus to allow the mode and ownership or any of the properties of the anonymous inode to be changed. Block this!

Definitely. Feel free to add:
