CVE Request -- Sahana

[Jan Lieskovsky <jlieskov () redhat com>]

Hello Steve, vendors,

  Greg Miernicki reported a security issue in Sahana disaster management
system:

Sending a specially-crafted URL (with null character included
in the string) to Sahana, would allow an attacker to access any
file on the web server.

More from Greg:

"The first issue would allow an attacker to touch/modify any file on the system.
 Essentially the issue is that get, post, and requests aren't sanitized or
 unescaped."
