The local_mkdir() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because it
calls:
(1) mkdir() which follows symbolic links for all path elements but the
rightmost one
(2) local_set_xattr()->setxattr() which follows symbolic links for all
path elements
(3) local_set_mapped_file_attr() which calls in turn local_fopen() and
mkdir(), both functions following symbolic links for all path
elements but the rightmost one
(4) local_post_create_passthrough() which calls in turn lchown() and
chmod(), both functions also following symbolic links
This patch converts local_mkdir() to rely on opendir_nofollow() and
mkdirat() to fix (1), as well as local_set_xattrat(),
local_set_mapped_file_attrat() and local_set_cred_passthrough() to
fix (2), (3) and (4) respectively.
The mapped and mapped-file security modes are supposed to be identical,
except for the place where credentials and file modes are stored. While
here, we also make that explicit by sharing the call to mkdirat().
This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
