following problems:

it possible to delete all private messages of a user by sending
them to a crafted web page.

Cross site request forgery enabled an attacker to perform various
actions on behalf of a logged in user. (Applies to sarge only)

invalid output. (Applies to sarge only)

(Applies to sarge only)
CVE-2006-4758
An authenticated forum administrator may upload files of any

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
in version 2.0.21-7.
