RHEL Packaging Agent 8a5699ed82 Fix CVE-2026-72694: symlink-following chown of pid file in daemon mode
Backport upstream commit 30e19216bf to fix CVE-2026-72694
(CWE-59), a symlink-following chown vulnerability in MRTG's
PID file handling during daemon mode startup.

The fix ensures create_pid() refuses symlinks, creates the
PID file atomically with O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, and uses
fchown on the open filehandle instead of path-based chown,
preventing a local attacker from redirecting ownership
changes to arbitrary files via a pre-placed symlink.

CVE: CVE-2026-72694
Upstream patches:
 - 30e19216bf.patch
Resolves: RHEL-236037
