Subject: Regarding Secunia Advisory SA13040. 

Hello there,

As a maintainer of Caudium Webserver I wishes the following things

1- Secunia didn't contact us about this "advisory" you have
     certainly googled the bugtracker on sourceforge and make this
     advisory without contacting us before, so this is NOT the rules
     about security advisory.
2- The Advisory it partialy false. You write that it affects Caudium
     1.x branch. Since there is only one branch about Caudium this is
     really  disinformation about our software.
3- Secunia DIDN'T contact us (if you look at the source there is
     mailing lists, emails and whatever things to help third party
     people to contact us.
4- The "advisory" (and even the lasted change logs) say all version
     of Caudium which is false, the ONLY VERSION that have the
     bug (because IT IS a bug) is 1.4RC1 not 1.4RC2 or even 1.0.xx /
     1.2.xx branch.
5- You didn't TEST by yourself before releasing this advisory, I can
     consider that as half-done work...

Because of that. I ask Secunia.com to REMOVE this advisory because all
its contents is false and inaccurate. I really hope that all
of other work of Secunia.com is better than the extract I just saw...

Sincerly Xavier
