+Subject: [PATCH] glocalfileoutputstream: Fix CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION
+ with symlinks
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The `G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION` flag is equivalent to unlinking
+the destination file and re-creating it from scratch. That did
+previously work, but in the process the code would call `open(O_CREAT)`
+on the file. If the file was a dangling symlink, this would create the
+destination file (empty). That’s not an intended side-effect, and has
+security implications if the symlink is controlled by a lower-privileged
+process.
+
+Fix that by not opening the destination file if it’s a symlink, and
+adjusting the rest of the code to cope with
+ - the fact that `fd == -1` is not an error iff `is_symlink` is true,
+ - and that `original_stat` will contain the `lstat()` results for the
+ symlink now, rather than the `stat()` results for its target (again,
+ iff `is_symlink` is true).
+
+This means that the target of the dangling symlink is no longer created,
+which was the bug. The symlink itself continues to be replaced (as
+before) with the new file — this is the intended behaviour of
+`g_file_replace()`.
+
+The behaviour for non-symlink cases, or cases where the symlink was not
+dangling, should be unchanged.
+
+Includes a unit test.
