The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200407-07 (Shorewall : Insecure temp file handling)

Shorewall uses temporary files and directories in an insecure manner. A     local user could create symbolic links at specific locations,     eventually overwriting other files on the filesystem with the rights of     the shorewall process.

Impact :

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overwrite arbitrary     system files with root privileges, resulting in Denial of Service or     further exploitation.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time. All users should upgrade to     the latest available version of Shorewall.
