printf 'GET 
/cgi-bin/munin-cgi-graph/localdomain/localhost.localdomain/vmstat-day.png?foo 
HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: localhost\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 80

Provided that the filename actually exists, munin will render the image
and store it as
/tmp/munin-cgi-graph/localdomain/localhost.localdomain/vmstat-day.png?foo.
By choosing a unique string instead of foo for each request an adversary
is able to create one png file per http request none of which are ever
deleted. He is thus able to exhaust the filesystem for /tmp. The issue
gets worse when /tmp is a tmpfs.

Again this issue seems to only affect the 2.x branch (sid).
