ovl: don't follow redirects if redirect_dir=off Overlayfs is following redirects even when redirects are disabled. If this is unintentional (probably the majority of cases) then this can be a problem. E.g. upper layer comes from untrusted USB drive, and attacker crafts a redirect to enable read access to otherwise unreadable directories. If "redirect_dir=off", then turn off following as well as creation of redirects. If "redirect_dir=follow", then turn on following, but turn off creation of redirects (which is what "redirect_dir=off" does now). This is a backward incompatible change, so make it dependent on a config option. Reported-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
