  With help of strace, I narrowed down the crash to the following
  example code.

  #include <stdio.h>                                                                                                                                              
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>

  int main() {
   int fd = socket(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
   printf("fd = %d\n", fd);

   struct sockaddr testaddr;
   testaddr.sa_family = AF_LOCAL;
   testaddr.sa_data[0] = 's';
   testaddr.sa_data[1] = 'o';
   testaddr.sa_data[2] = 'c';
   testaddr.sa_data[3] = 'k';
   testaddr.sa_data[4] = 'e';
   testaddr.sa_data[5] = 't';
   testaddr.sa_data[6] = '\0';

   int test = bind(fd, &testaddr, 9);
   printf("test = %d\n", test);
  }

  And then, I observed that other programs using UNIX domain socket (e.g. dbus) are not affected.
  By reading /proc/net/unix, I found that the addresses all seem to start with '/' or '\0' (shown as '@')

  I tried the following modification to the example code:
  - testaddr.sa_data[0] = 's';
  + testaddr.sa_data[0] = '/';

  The modified code does not crash.

  So my guess: somewhere in the audit path handling code, there is an
  incorrect assumption that the path must start with '/' or '\0'
