Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña discovered insecure temporary file

exploited to overwrite arbitrary files by a local attacker.

but the package is non-free.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.1-1sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
