Subject: CVE Request: FlightGear: Allows the route manager to overwrite
 arbitrary files

Hi

The FlightGear project fixed a security issue, allowing arbitrary file
overwrites for files the user running FlightGear has write access to
and could be taken advantage to for other impact as arbitrary code
execution.
