+Subject: [PATCH] checkpath: fix CVE-2018-21269
+
+This walks the directory path to the file we are going to manipulate to make
+sure that when we create the file and change the ownership and permissions
+we are working on the same file.
+Also, all non-terminal symbolic links must be owned by root. This will
+keep a non-root user from making a symbolic link as described in the
+bug. If root creates the symbolic link, it is assumed to be trusted.
+
+On non-linux platforms, we no longer follow non-terminal symbolic links
+by default. If you need to do that, add the -s option on the checkpath
+command line, but keep in mind that this is not secure.
+
+This fixes #201.
+
+[Patch taken from upstream:
+https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/commit/b6fef599bf8493480664b766040fa9b0d4b1e335]

++If -s is not specified on a non-linux platform, checkpath will refuse to
++allow non-terminal symbolic links to exist in the path. This is for
