Interesting find. This appears to be a kernel issue, the extra chars are
coming from the kernel's /proc/net/unix file.

Title:
  ControlPath unix socket is created in a weird way

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  STEPS.

  1. Create a ControlPath socket with something like "-o ControlPath=/tmp/sshcontrol-%C" during an SSH connection.
  2. Check with ls the socket is there. I am getting

  srw------- 1 enzo enzo  0 2016-06-17 10:17:21 sshcontrol-
  369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705

  3. Ask lsof who's that socket belonging to:

  lsof /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705

  4. Ask lsof the same but with grep

  lsof | grep /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705

  ACTUAL RESULTS.
  For step no. 3 I am getting nothing (but the WARNING about /sys/kernel/debug/tracing)
  For step no. 4 I am getting:

  [enzo@Feynman ~] lsof | grep /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705
  lsof: WARNING: can't stat() tracefs file system /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
        Output information may be incomplete.
  ssh       10667             enzo    4u     unix 0x0000000000000000       0t0     173813 /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705.NDScoG3mgs0mWc4q type=STREAM

  Where you can see clearly that the socket name has a trailing part
  ".NDScoG3mgs0mWc4q".

  EXTRA STEP.
  5. Ask lsof about the socket with the extended name

  EXTRA RESULT

  [enzo@Feynman ~] lsof /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705.NDScoG3mgs0mWc4q

  EXPECTED RESULT
  A reasonable output from lsof detailing the real and actual unix socket.
