Bug description

Due to some broken recursive shares, one can have infinite recursion causing exception when browsing the folder with the broken share and excessive memory consumption.

Steps to reproduce

  1. create an user group with at least 2 users
  2. create a group folder associated to this group FolderForGroup
  3. from one of the user in the group, create a folder inside the group folder InsideFolder
  4. share the inside folder with the user within the group (via a direct share to an user)
  5. use an user who has received the inside folder share and rename it to have those folders in its root folder (FolderForGroup and InsideFolderRenamed)
  6. move the InsideFolder within FolderForGroup in the root folder
  7. share InsideFolder to the same group that is owning the group folder
  8. try to access files from the user who created InsideFolder

Expected behavior

Share would not recurse and the user receiving a share should not be allowed to share it with the user having originally shared it
