[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 12/29] 9pfs: local: unlinkat: don't follow symlinks

[Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>]

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

This patch converts local_unlinkat() to rely on opendir_nofollow() and
unlinkat() instead.

Most of the code is moved to a separate local_unlinkat_common() helper
which will be reused in a subsequent patch to fix the same issue in
local_remove().

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
