Subject: [PATCH] backup: prevent a symlink attack by operating on the file
descriptor
Use futimens() instead of utime() to change the timestamps on a backup
file. Otherwise, a non-privileged user could create an arbitrary symlink
with the name of the backup file and in this way fool a privileged user
to call utime() on the attacker-chosen file.
