We aren't sure about the need for CVE IDs for this product because it
doesn't seem to advertise any security properties, e.g.,

  https://github.com/OpenedHand/didiwiki/blob/master/README
  "Its probably not very secure at all."

We can assign a CVE ID if there is going to be a DSA.

One concern is that the design may not be intended for environments
with untrusted clients, and many other issues may be found. Also, we
aren't sure about the patch:

+   if (!isalnum(page_name[0]))
+        return FALSE;
+   
+    if (strstr(page_name, ".."))
+         return FALSE;

e.g., what about C:\file.txt if it's possible to build this on Windows.
