+	  <p>It seems that the whiptail, cdialog and kdialog backends apply
+	    some improper escaping in their shell commands, causing special
+	    characters present in menu item titles to be interpreted by the
+	    shell. This includes the backtick evaluation operator, so this
+	    constitutues a security issue, allowing execution of arbitrary
+	    commands if an attacker has control over the text displayed in
+	    a menu.</p>
