checking for the previous owner. This could allow an attacker to

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.94-7woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.160-1 of webmin and 1.090-1 of usermin.
We recommend that you upgrade your webmin packages.";
