Webmin 1.979 has been released on June 13 (and announced today):

It fixes a security issue in the network configuration module.

Mageia 7 is also affected.

We already have in Cauldron versions 1.972, 3, 4
and just, enigmatically: Mon Jun 14 version 0.979 - typo in SVN?

Assigning this to Stig who did them all.

The update is replacing a directory with a symlink.

Reassigning back to security team.

Comment 6 David Walser 2021-06-22 04:37:43 CEST
Technically the security team and packaging team are separate, so you shouldn't assign bugs to it.  Thanks for checking, and I'll fix it later.
