I made the fix for kpf within minutes of the vulnerability being reported.
The vulnerabilty was reported directly to me, on IRC.

Rest assured it will not happen again. I'm reviewing all patches from now
on, no matter how long anyone has been sending patches for kpf, I will
not allow them to commit without my approval.

Unfortunately I can't enforce this as strictly as I'd like, as there are no
ACLs on the code directories.

Please, nobody commit to kpf without asking first. It shares people's
files publically. To say that utmost care should be taken is an
understatement.
