The setuid, setgid, and sticky bits are not copied during copy_tree.
Also start with very restrictive permissions before setting ownerships.
This prevents situations in which users in a group with less permissions
than others could win a race in opening the file before permissions are
removed again.
Proof of concept:
$ echo $HOME
/home/uwu
$ install -o uwu -g fandom -m 604 /dev/null /home/uwu/owo
$ ls -l /home/uwu/owo
-rw----r-- 1 uwu fandom 0 Sep 4 00:00 /home/uwu/owo
If /tmp is on another filesystem, then "usermod -md /tmp/uwu uwu" leads
to this temporary situation:
$ ls -l /tmp/uwu/owo
-rw----r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 4 00:00 /tmp/uwu/owo
This means that between openat and chownat_if_needed a user of group
fandom could open /tmp/uwu/owo and read the content when it is finally
written into the file.
