The local_lstat() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because it
calls:
(1) lstat() which follows symbolic links in all path elements but the
rightmost one
(2) getxattr() which follows symbolic links in all path elements
(3) local_mapped_file_attr()->local_fopen()->openat(O_NOFOLLOW) which
follows symbolic links in all path elements but the rightmost
one
This patch converts local_lstat() to rely on opendir_nofollow() and
fstatat(AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) to fix (1), fgetxattrat_nofollow() to
fix (2).
A new local_fopenat() helper is introduced as a replacement to
local_fopen() to fix (3). No effort is made to factor out code
because local_fopen() will be dropped when all users have been
converted to call local_fopenat().
This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
