CVE-NOMATCH
The upstream developers of gallery have fixed several cases of
possible variable injection that could trick gallery to unintended
actions, e.g. leaking database passwords.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.5-8woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.4-pl4-1.
