    Fix CVE-2011-4029: File permission change vulnerability.
    
    Use fchmod() to change permissions of the lock file instead
    of chmod(), thus avoid the race that can be exploited to set
    a symbolic link to any file or directory in the system.

    Fix CVE-2011-4028: File disclosure vulnerability.
    
    use O_NOFOLLOW to open the existing lock file, so symbolic links
    aren't followed, thus avoid revealing if it point to an existing
    file.
