The issue has been there for a while.  See the associated bug report.  Also 
since it is an issue with the interactive port, the attacker would have to have 
access to that port.  In most cases the port should have been protected by 
either the trusted_hosts configuration or the fact that gmetad should be 
running behind a firewall which would prevent external access.  Since only the 
web front end (ie. apache) and/or a downstream gmetad need access to the 
interactive port,  there should really be no reason for this port to be exposed 
to anything else both inside or outside a firewall.
