Subject: [PATCH] Prevent directory chmod race attack.
CVE-2017-6512 is a race condition attack where the chmod() of directories
that cannot be entered is misused to change the permissions on other
files or directories on the system. This has been corrected by limiting
the directory-permission loosening logic to systems where fchmod() is
supported.
