Description:
Steve Kemp has reported a security issue in GForge, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to truncate arbitrary files.

The security issue is caused due to temporary files being handled in an insecure manner. This can be exploited via symlink attacks to truncate files with the privileges of the "gforge" user.

The security issue is reported in version 4.5.14. Other versions may also be affected.
