The paths up to files/ are not attacker-controlled, and g_file_replace_contents with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION already replaces symlinks rather than following them, so this is not a security fix. The only reason why is that the file is in the root of the attacker controlled directory. This is a bit subtle, so lets do the right thing and concistently use fd-relative operations when doing anything inside attacker/app controlled directories.
