Hmm, I've only skimmed the article yet but my first impression was that
it a) was "only" a problem of the Geeklog/Gallery integration (not of
Geeklog itself) and b) was "only" used to send spam.

I must have missed the bit about writing to the server's hard disk, but I
don't really have the time now to look into it. Can someone confirm if
this is "only" a problem with the Gallery integration?

bye, Dirk
