Firestarter is a firewalling tool; nis is a network application.  These are
not unrelated software.

Given that you can break *any* network application by means of a
misconfigured firewall, and given that your stated solution for this bug was
to make a change to your *nis* config, not to your firestarter config, I
don't see any reason to treat this as a grave bug, either.
