Yes, this is a real bug. It's really simple. Actually, there have been a
couple of security bugs reported overnight that are just so damn simple
it's scary. If you're really interested in this stuff there are all sorts
of security/privacy/etc. related mailing lists.
I'm glad that I'm running qmail instead. :-)
Hope this helps,
John
