http://secunia.com/advisories/36809/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Firewall Builder, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the application generating
scripts, which are using temporary files in an insecure manner. This
can be exploited to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files via symlink
attacks.

Note: Only scripts setting iptable's static routing configuration are
affected.

The security issue is reported in versions 3.0.4, 3.0.5, and 3.0.6.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.7.
