Maybe. If you don't configure things securely, it could be a real
problem. But the same is true of Apache, sendmail, bind, and many
other services. Most people secure if they are configured properly.

I'd suggest moving up to 3.23.xx. If you find problems with 3.22,
you'll likely need to upgrade anyway...
