the multiple insecure files problem, hence, this update.  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:

CVE-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.";
