Hello,
I don't see a CVE assigned for the vulnerability announced here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.announce/83
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=8347d3fef0e5cbabe4aa48f503612fa7b9d078f8
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commit;h=bf44925ecccda436caa1cfc34f89eced9c1bd104

Could a CVE be assigned?

Thanks,
