DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for mlmmj. This fixes a vulnerability,
which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose system
information and manipulate certain data.

The vulnerability is caused due to the administrator web interface
not properly sanitising certain input before using it in file
operations, which can be exploited to e.g. disclose the existence of
arbitrary files or delete files via directory traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
