Could you please either email the Fedora support list, or join irc on freenode's #fedora channel ? Should you then discover that this indeed is a security issue, be it either the way we configured it, or a coding issue, please file a security bug on bugzilla.redhat.com. At this stage I find this unlikely though, but never say never. ;-) Please be patient with some #fedora helpers, they can be quite abrasive.
