Subject: Buffer Overflow? 
Users can access root level directories by using a modified URL. I saw on some security web sites that this was a problem in previous versions. Was it not fixed in 2.6?

To recreate enter http://yourhost.yourdomain.com/../../../../etc/passwd

view your password file in the browser.


If this was previously reported, is there a fix?
