The contents of a symlink is the path to which it points. We can simply read the contents as a new path, and use
getEntry
to get the contents of the symbolic link. This implementation should also fully traverse any path that is a series of symbolic link. This does allow for a DoS attack by creating a recursive symbolic link cycle (e.g.a
->b
->a
).Fixes: #7081
