secure-relative-open.test

#!/bin/sh

# Regression test for the CVE fix in commit c35e283 ("receiver: use
# secure_relative_open() for basis file").
#
# secure_relative_open() enforces O_NOFOLLOW on every path component of
# the relpath, preventing the receiver from following symlinks when
# opening basis files for delta comparison. This stops a malicious
# sender from causing the receiver to read files outside the
# destination tree via crafted symlinks.
#
# This test verifies that when a basis directory (--copy-dest) contains
# a symlink as an intermediate path component, the receiver does NOT
# follow it to open the basis file. The generator may find the file
# (it uses link_stat/do_open_checklinks which follow intermediate
# symlinks), but the receiver's secure_relative_open must reject it.
#
# Observable difference: with a real directory, the receiver logs
# "recv mapped <path>" when it successfully opens the basis file.
# With a symlink, that line is absent because the open fails.
