I don't see a CVE assigned for the vulnerability announced here:

It appears that this is a privilege escalation through injecting
backticks, but I'm not absolutely sure. It is fixed as of versions
4.0.1.10/4.0.0.8 in the following commits:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commit;h=5a2aa0c36ef7a57d87e3bb6f7c6b2558ed5430f7
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commit;h=5a2aa0c36ef7a57d87e3bb6f7c6b2558ed5430f7
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commit;h=8347d3fef0e5cbabe4aa48f503612fa7b9d078f8
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commit;h=bf44925ecccda436caa1cfc34f89eced9c1bd104

Use CVE-2013-7383.

Please clarify whether there is a fourth required commit. (The
first commit was listed twice in your original message.)


Sorry about that, my mistake. The second commit should have been:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commit;h=b03665513ab1969b069c1351fe17cbb8b5fca256
So yes, there are four commits. Thanks for the catch!
