Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gradle.

CVE-2023-44387[0]:
| Gradle is a build tool with a focus on build automation and support
| for multi-language development. When copying or archiving symlinked
| files, Gradle resolves them but applies the permissions of the
| symlink itself instead of the permissions of the linked file to the
| resulting file. This leads to files having too much permissions
| given that symlinks usually are world readable and writeable. While
| it is unlikely this results in a direct vulnerability for the
| impacted build, it may open up attack vectors depending on where
| build artifacts end up being copied to or un-archived. In versions
| 7.6.3, 8.4 and above, Gradle will now properly use the permissions
| of the file pointed at by the symlink to set permissions of the
| copied or archived file.
