It was discovered that F*EX, a web service for transferring very large files, is not properly validating authentication IDs. While the service properly validates existing authentication IDs, an attacker who is not specifying any authentication ID at all can bypass the authentication procedure.
The oldstable distribution (lenny) does not include fex.
