"system-config-firewall is a graphical user interface for basic
firewall setup.

It was found that system-config-firewall used the Python pickle module
in an insecure way when sending data (via D-Bus) to the privileged
back-end mechanism. A local user authorized to configure firewall
rules using system-config-firewall could use this flaw to execute
arbitrary code with root privileges, by sending a specially crafted
serialized object. (CVE-2011-2520)

This erratum updates system-config-firewall to use JSON (JavaScript
Object Notation) for data exchange, instead of pickle. Therefore, an
updated version of system-config-printer that uses this new
communication data format is also provided in this erratum.

Users of system-config-firewall are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this
issue. Running instances of system-config-firewall must be restarted
before the utility will be able to communicate with its updated
back-end."
