Just delete the .htaccess files in files and tmp and visit /admin/config/media/file-system and Save, Drupal 7.24 will create the correct .htaccess files. If this doesn't work for tmp try putting a dot before the /tmp in the tmp field so ./tmp and save again.

It seems the easiest way to fix this is to delete the .htaccess file from those directories and then save the file systems settings. That will place an approved version into those directories.

There have been reports that the error message still persists even after
putting the file in.
