This version contains a flaw related to the parameter parser
that may allow a possible hacker to create a malformed URL,
which causes the application to hang. A possible hacker, exploiting
this flaw, would only need network access to the cvstrac server.
Upon sending a malformed link, the cvstrac server would go into
an infinite loop, rendering the services as unavailable.
