remote user to pass the -c parameter, to use a specific config file,
to the htsearch program when running as a CGI. A malicious user could
point to a file like /dev/zero and force the CGI to stall until it
times out. Repeated attacks could result in a DoS. As well, if the
user has write permission on the server and can create a file with
certain entries, they can point the server to it and retrieve any file
readable by the webserver UID."
