  <background>
    <p>
    Webmin is a web-based interface for Unix-like systems. Usermin is a
    simplified version of Webmin designed for use by normal users rather
    than system administrators.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    A vulnerability in both Webmin and Usermin has been discovered by Kenny
    Chen, wherein simplify_path is called before the HTML is decoded.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A non-authenticated user can read any file on the server using a
    specially crafted URL.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    For a temporary workaround, IP Access Control can be setup on Webmin
    and Usermin.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Webmin users should update to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot &quot;&gt;=app-admin/webmin-1.290&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Usermin users should update to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot &quot;&gt;=app-admin/usermin-1.220&quot;</code>
