OS Command Injection
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

It was discovered that original upstream patch for server-side command execution flaw affecting setups with mapypalias username map enabled did not address the issue completely, due to incorrect use of quoting (backticks vs. single quotes). Code execution was still possible in upstream version 1.4.18.

Issue was fixed upstream in 1.4.19.
