I don't see any vulnerability here. The -h option of 'chown -h A/B/C'
does not affect whether A and A/B are followed if they are symbolic
links: they are always followed, regardless of whether the -h option is
specified. The -h option affects only whether A/B/C is followed if A/B/C
is a symbolic link. This is a well-known property of symbolic links.
