restrictions.

The problem is that it is possible to access files and directories
outside the virtual root directory when the given path is a subset of
the virtual root directory.

Example:
If the virtual root directory is "/var/www/html/test1" then users can
access "/var/www/html/test10".

The security issue has been confirmed in version 3.0. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.1.
