Dan McMahill noticed that our advisory DSA 661-1 did not correct
the multiple insecure files problem, hence, this update. For
completeness below is the original advisory text:
>
> Javier FernĂĄndez-Sanguino PeĂąa 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.
>
> * CAN-2005-0018
> Two insecure temporary files in the f2 shell script.

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.
