Security Bypass

DESCRIPTION:
Tavis Ormandy has reported a security issue in FVWM, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an input validation error in the
"evalFolderLine()" function. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary commands by tricking a user into using the
"fvwm-menu-directory" command on a specially crafted directory.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in CVS.
