[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 08/29] 9pfs: local: lgetxattr: don't follow symlinks

[Greg Kurz]

The local_lgetxattr() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because
it calls lgetxattr() which follows symbolic links in all path elements but
the rightmost one.

This patch converts local_lgetxattr() to rely on opendir_nofollow() and
fgetxattrat_nofollow() instead.

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
