CVE-2012-4893 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-4893):
  Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in file/show.cgi
  in Webmin 1.590 and earlier allow remote attackers to hijack the
  authentication of privileged users for requests that (1) read files or
  execute (2) tar, (3) zip, or (4) gzip commands, a different issue than
  CVE-2012-2982.

CVE-2012-2983 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2983):
  file/edit_html.cgi in Webmin 1.590 and earlier does not perform an
  authorization check before showing a file's unedited contents, which allows
  remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the file field.

CVE-2012-2982 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2982):
  file/show.cgi in Webmin 1.590 and earlier allows remote authenticated users
  to execute arbitrary commands via an invalid character in a pathname, as
  demonstrated by a | (pipe) character.

CVE-2012-2981 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2981):
  Webmin 1.590 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute
  arbitrary Perl code via a crafted file associated with the type (aka monitor
  type name) parameter.

This should be fixed in webmin-1.600 which I just bumped to the tree

Thanks, Markos. Please also drop vulnerable versions.

Closing noglsa for ~arch only.
