Gnatsweb versions 2.7 beta, 2.8.0 and 2.8.1 have a serious security hole, 
potentially allowing an attacker to read or execute files on the Gnatsweb 
server machine. A security advisory, with fixes, are available from 
http://sources.redhat.com/gnats/gnatsweb/advisory-jun-26-2001.html

I urge people running the affected Gnatsweb versions to apply the fixes 
immediately, or download version 2.8.2 of Gnatsweb which incorporates the fix.

People running Gnatsweb 3.95 for GNATS 4 from CVS, checked out prior to 
June 26 2001 12:15 PDT should check out the newest version, which 
incorporates the fix.
