Dear Pekka,

Thank you for your warning.

Although we could not find any exploitable security leaks in our version
of the software we still decided to take the maximum security precautions.
Therefor we applied the available patches on all testboxes.

The patch also logs all attempted breakins. If any of such a breakin
attempt will happen on your testbox we will inform you about that.


With regards,

Mark Santcroos
