Subject: [PATCH 4/5] glocalfileoutputstream: Fix CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION
with symlinks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The `G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION` flag is equivalent to unlinking
the destination file and re-creating it from scratch. That did
previously work, but in the process the code would call `open(O_CREAT)`
on the file. If the file was a dangling symlink, this would create the
destination file (empty). Thats not an intended side-effect, and has
security implications if the symlink is controlled by a lower-privileged
process.
Fix that by not opening the destination file if its a symlink, and
adjusting the rest of the code to cope with
- the fact that `fd == -1` is not an error iff `is_symlink` is true,
- and that `original_stat` will contain the `lstat()` results for the
symlink now, rather than the `stat()` results for its target (again,
iff `is_symlink` is true).
This means that the target of the dangling symlink is no longer created,
which was the bug. The symlink itself continues to be replaced (as
before) with the new file this is the intended behaviour of
`g_file_replace()`.
The behaviour for non-symlink cases, or cases where the symlink was not
dangling, should be unchanged.
Includes a unit test.
