in reply to Security issues when allowing file upload via CGI

You would want to make sure that you disallow execution of any file that the user uploads, otherwise the user could just upload a file that punts out your passwd file or whatever.
But off the top of my head, I can't see it being a major problem....
/me waits to be corrected :-)
