Verified attack vectors across devel branch/2.2/2.1 and have created private branches to address the issue across these versions. Due to the holidays, we will hold off on disclosing the vulnerability and will release new candidate versions for stable-2.1 and stable-2.2 branches (2.1.4 RC1 and 2.2.1 RC3 respectively) ASAP in early January.
