Package: openobex-apps
Version: 1.2-2
Severity: serious
Tags: security

If you "ircp -r", and someone sends you a file, the filename provided by
the remote source is used -- even if the file still exists.

The source has actually a TODO about this:

//TODO! Rename file if already exist.

(line 129, ircp_io.c)

It think this is quite dangerous, because you could be doing ircp -r in
your homedir, and get '.bashrc' or so accidently.

Of course, risk is quite limited due to the need of physical proximity,
but still.
