Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Webmin, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system and by
malicious people to disclose certain sensitive information.

execute arbitrary Perl code.

sanitised before being used in a "open()" function call. This can be
exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands.
3) Input passed via the "file" parameter to edit_html.cgi is not
properly verified before being used to read files. This can be
exploited to read arbitrary files from local resources.
