More information:

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that fireflier-server, an interactive firewall rule creation tool, uses temporary files in an unsafe manner which may be exploited to remove arbitrary files from the local system.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.5-1sarge1.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.6-3etch1.
