[Secure-testing-team] Bug#661993: CVE-2011-2191: persistent CSRF on admin interface

Please verify whether the issue is still present in the package. A quick
look at admin/PageVServers.py suggests that this is the case, because
the Commit function stores new_nick without any validation. Even though
the value is escaped on some accesses admin/PageStatus.py Render_Content
does not perform escaping.
