Bug Description

First of all: I'm not familiar with the update Process for Ubuntu, but this Update looks important to me:

"Fixed: PAM authentication: Users with a valid password for a disabled account could still login to Monit. Thanks to Youssef Rebahi-Gilbert."
-> since you can Start/Stop monitored Services here it could have a big impact, if a disabled User is still able to perform this tasks.

Fixed: The Monit HTTP interface could be blocked by sending a request with an infinite stream of HTTP headers. Thanks to Youssef Rebahi-Gilbert for report.
-> This makes monit unavailable and Admins will be nearly blind on the monitoring Front.
