- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : gforge
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary files
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-3921

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that gforge,
a collaborative development tool, used temporary files insecurely which
could allow local users to truncate files upon the system with the privileges
of the gforge user, or create a denial of service attack.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
4.5.14-22etch3.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.1-31sarge4.

We recommend that you upgrade your gforge package.
