Initially, 'acl' (an 'acl_t *') is allocated, and its ACCESS_ACL and
DEFAULT_ACL fields are passed to the 'libc' ACL routines for subsequent
allocation. If the '-m' option (merge existing ACL with a new one) is
specified, then 'set_acl_mask()' will be called and passed one of the
two ACLs. This function, in turn, replaces this given ACL structure by
another, freshly allocated. However, the pointer in the 'acl' variable
in the caller is not updated. The caller then proceeds to free the ACL,
incurring in a double free condition.

Before this fix the -h flag was ignored (i.e. setfacl
always set the ACL on the file pointed to by the symbolic
link even when the -h flag requested that the ACL be set
on the symbolic link itself).
next read filename overwrite previous one, resulting in acl being
applied only to the last name in the list.

tools such as chmod(1) and ls(1) when it comes to acting on objects
that have POSIX.1e extended ACLs. Specifically, discuss the
substitution of the mask entry for the group entry in the mode
representation of the ACL. Differently worded from the submission,
and could probably use further refinement.

on a final symlink in the provided path, rather than its target.

required by POSIX.1e. This maintains the current 'struct acl'
in the kernel while providing the generic external acl_t
interface required to complete the ACL editing library.
o Add the acl_get_entry() function.
o Convert the existing ACL utilities, getfacl and setfacl, to
fully make use of the ACL editing library.
