Truncate System Call Vulnerability
The truncate() system call on a number of versions of the IRIX operating system (with the xfs file system) does not properly check permissions before truncating a file, making it possible for unprivileged users to damage files to which they would otherwise not have write access.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the truncate() system call is properly checking permissions before truncating a file.
