Insight
Stephen Gran and Mark Hymers discovered that some scripts run by GForge, a collaborative development tool, open files in write mode in a potentially insecure manner. This may be exploited to overwrite arbitary files on the local system.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.14-22etch8.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your gforge package.
