Earlier today we were informed indirectly via a bugtraq posting, of a
security issue in the 1.05 version of our software. While were already
scheduled to release version 1.6 of the software tomorrow, it is advised
that you apply the following official patch to your current installation.
On untrusted networks, the bug could lead to acquisition of
administrative privileges within the Console.
