Hi;

In the latest versions there has been detected an annoying security
issue which may allow unauthorized shutdown or restart of your IPS
server. As long as you keep "Address=127.0.0.1" in the "[ADMIN]"
section of "ips.cfg" you are safe but also unable to use the remote
console.

If you still need to run the remote console, please modify the
"ClientAddress" setting in the same section to contain only the
specific safe IP addresses before you remove or change the bind
address.

There is no risk of any kind of data access related to this issue, only
a possibility to shutdown or restart your IPS server. Any access are
logged in "ips.log" and "-admin.log". A fix is already ready, but since
I'm away on a business trip and this is more annoying than highly
critical it will not be released before I get home.
