Some security vulnerabilities have been found and reported to us 
following an audit of MapServer's mapserv CGI. We have worked on this 
off-list with other PSC members to come up with a solution before making 
anything public.

The outcome of this is five tickets (#2939, #2941, #2942, #2943, #2944) 
and corresponding fixes:
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2939
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2941
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2942
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2943
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2944

as well as a new RFC-56 about tightening up control of access to 
mapfiles and templates:
   http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-56.html


Motion:

I hereby motion that we release MapServer 5.2.2 and 4.10.4 ASAP with 
fixes for tickets (#2939, #2941, #2942, #2943, #2944) and the 
implementation of RFC-56. MapServer 5.4.0 beta4 should also follow 
within a few days with the same fixes.

I start with my +1

Daniel
