      VFS: don't do protected {sym,hard}links by default · 561ec64a
      Linus Torvalds authored
      In commit 800179c9 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to
      the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in
      the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being
      technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior.
      
      However, it does turn out to break some applications.  It's rare, and
      it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so
      we'll have to default to legacy behavior.
      
      In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see
      
        http://www.dwd.de/AFD/
      
      
      
      along with some legacy scripts.
      
      Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system
      scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your
      early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl
      setting. Do:
      
      	echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
      	echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
      
      to re-enable the link protections.
      
      Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option
      that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural
      options automatically.
