For completeness below is the original advisory text: Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that f2c and fc, which are both part of the f2c package, a fortran 77 to C/C++ translator, open temporary files insecurely and are hence vulnerable to a symlink attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CAN-2005-0017 Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator. For the stable distribution (woody) and all others including testing this problem has been fixed in version 20010821-3.2. We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package.
