Update Information:
This is a maintenance release that mainly fixes a Document Object Model
(DOM)-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the monitorix.cgi file.
Such vulnerability is by injection a JS code in the when parameter of the URL
shown after generating the graphs. Additionally, a potential denial of service
(DoS) issue was discovered in the same when parameter of the URL which could
lead in the creation of an enormous amount of .png files in the imgs directory
of the server.
