Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in MoinMoin, a Python clone of WikiWiki. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
- CVE-2007-2423
A cross-site-scripting vulnerability has been discovered in attachment handling.
- CVE-2007-2637
Access control lists for calendars and includes were insufficiently enforced, which could lead to information disclosure.
- CVE-2008-0780
A cross-site-scripting vulnerability has been discovered in the login code.
- CVE-2008-0781
A cross-site-scripting vulnerability has been discovered in attachment handling.
- CVE-2008-0782
A directory traversal vulnerability in cookie handling could lead to local denial of service by overwriting files.
- CVE-2008-1098
Cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GUI editor formatter and the code to delete pages.
- CVE-2008-1099
The macro code validates access control lists insufficiently, which could lead to information disclosure.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.3-1.2etch1. This update also includes a bugfix with respect to the encoding of password reminder mails, which doesn't have security implications.
The old stable distribution (sarge) will not be updated due to the many changes and support for Sarge ending end of this month anyway. You're advised to upgrade to the stable distribution if you run moinmoin.
We recommend that you upgrade your moin package.
