    I have notified iMatix via supportat_private of multiple
    flaws in the GSL templates of Xitami 2.5 Beta.  The e-mail
    was sent out today, so I will release technical details later
    on, but I did want to release a workaround:
    
    In defaults.cfg, users can set "use-error-script" in the "[Server]"
    section to "0".  This will disable the vulnerable GSL script and
    secure your server.  Users who have not installed the Beta 
    should wait until a fix is available.
    
    Xitami has no security contact, so I decided to publish this
    workaround to avoid exploits of this bug.  In my message to
    the company (iMatix) I told them that if no reply was received
    in 7 days, I would publish full details.
