Details:

Hello,

this was reported as https://bugs.debian.org/912180 by Mathieu Parent. He also
provided the attached to fix the issue. I have verified the bug, and that the
patch makes the issue unreproducible.
-----------------
Hi,

The following testcase:

mkdir foo
mknod foo/null c 1 3
touch foo/bindmntoverfile
mount --bind foo/null foo/bindmntoverfile
find foo -type f -ls
3857271640      0 crw-r--r--   1 root     root       1,   3 Oct 24
07:50 foo/bindmntoverfile

i.e "-type f" wrongly matches a char device.

The attached patch fixes this.

Regards

Mathieu Parent
