(Get the code!)
Security enhanced replacement drivers are being worked on since last year, but not yet ready for prime time. It is possible with these drivers to let scripts assign different device file permissions based on the type of FireWire device ( -> finer grained device security). These drivers also implement filtered physical DMA as mentioned in a previous comment ( -> improved host security). Development status of these drivers is posted at wiki.linux1394.org.

It actually is, except if ancient userspace software is used.
