Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in sbox, which can be exploited by malicious people to see path information.
The problem is that the error message returned when requesting a non-existant CGI script includes the full path to the user's "cgi-bin" directory. This also reveals the username (name of home directory often equals username).
The issue has been reported to affect version 1.04.
Solution:
If this is of great concern, then edit the source code to make sure that error messages don't include path information.
