A vulnerability in perl-IPTables-Parse was found, when using predictable file
names for its temporary files. This vulnerability allows attacker on a
multi-user system to set up symlinks to overwrite any file the current user has
write access to.

Note that perl-IPTables-Parse is also used by fwsnort and
perl-IPTables-ChainMgr, which is used by psad.
