Debian GNU/Linux Advisory: liece

liece, an IRC client for Emacs, does not take appropriate
security precautions when creating temporary files. This bug could
potentially be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files with the
privileges of the user running Emacs and liece, potentially with
contents supplied by the attacker.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 2.0+0.20020217cvs-2.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 2.0+0.20030527cvs-1.

We recommend that you update your liece package.
