Description of problem: The Diatheke CGI allows arbitrary command execution in the context of the webserver, e.g. www-data by simply abusing the range parameter. For example, &range=`yes` will consume tons of resources on the affected webserver. Escalation of privleges and command shells are left as an exercise to the reader.

Do Fedora sword packages really need this patch? I fail to see diatheke.pl in any of the sword non-source RPMs...
Fedora packages were updated, however, we do not seem to ship affected script. Closing as notabug.
