Comment (by cypherpunks):

 In fact, SHA-256 hash of file must only be used to provide integrity
 against accidential errors, not malicially crafted.
 You must NEVER use it as a protection measure. You must use a secure
 MAC/signature instead. So, I think that the author of this ticket must
 learn crypto a little.
