-Subject: doc: warn about following symlinks recursively in chown/chgrp
-
-In both chown and chgrp (which shares its code with chown), operating
-on symlinks recursively has a window of vulnerability where the
-destination user or group can change the target of the operation.
-Warn about combining the --dereference, --recursive, and -L flags.
-
-* doc/coreutils.texi (warnOptDerefWithRec): Add macro.
-(node chown invocation): Add it to --dereference and -L.
-(node chgrp invocation): Likewise.
-
-See also: CVE-2017-18018
-CVE: CVE-2017-18018
-Upstream-Status: Backport from v8.30
