*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

(mdeslaur):

Binary package hint: syscp

Affected releases: lucid, maverick, natty

According to [1], all syscp 1.4.x versions under 1.4.2.2 are affected by
two security vulnerabilities:

* handling of open_basedir paths: Customers are able to add whatever
path they want via the documentroot of a domain by appending a colon to
it and setting the open basedir path to use that domain documentroot,
not the customer root.

* problem in safe_exec executing unwanted commands

Since the Ubuntu package changelog (copy Debian's one please ;) does not
specify the date, I believe the current package is vulnerable against
those 2 issues. Debian version is as well, although the vuln is not
reported either [2]. Would be nice to inform them :)

Patch has been issued by developpers of the software at [1].
