Description David Walser 2022-05-23 17:27:16 CEST
Webmin 1.990 has been released on May 22, fixing a security issue:
https://www.webmin.com/security.html
https://www.webmin.com/changes.html

Advisory:
========================

Updated webmin package fixes security vulnerability:

Less privileged Webmin users (excluding those created by Virtualmin and
Cloudmin) can modify arbitrary files with root privileges, and so run commands
as root (CVE-2022-30708).
