File fix-CVE-2012-1174.patch of Package systemd.openSUSE_12.1_Update
Subject: util: never follow symlinks in rm_rf_children()
The function checks if the entry is a directory before recursing, but
there is a window between the check and the open, during which the
directory could be replaced with a symlink.
