[Qemu-devel] [PULL 17/31] 9pfs: local: statfs: don't follow symlinks

[Greg Kurz]

The local_statfs() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because it
calls statfs() which follows symbolic links in all path elements.

This patch converts local_statfs() to rely on open_nofollow() and fstatfs()
instead.

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
