Subject: [PATCH] util: virFileChownFiles: do not follow symlinks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
virFileChownFiles() selected entries with virFileIsRegular() (stat(), follows
symlinks) and changed ownership with chown() (follows symlinks). A component
that owns the target directory at a lower privilege (e.g. the swtpm/tss state
directory) can plant a symlink to an arbitrary regular file and have the root
caller chown that file. Use lstat() to skip non-regular entries and
fchownat(..., AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) so a symlink final component is never
followed.
Fixes: CVE-2026-63622
Signed-off-by: HE WEI(ギカク) <skyexpoc@gmail.com>
[DB: use g_lstat instead of stat; use lchown instead of
fchownat for portability; added comment]
