Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in moin, a python clone of WikiWiki. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2010-0668
Multiple security issues in MoinMoin related to configurations that have a non-empty superuser list, the xmlrpc action enabled, the SyncPages action enabled, or OpenID configured.
CVE-2010-0669
MoinMoin does not properly sanitize user profiles.
CVE-2010-0717
The default configuration of cfg.packagepages_actions_excluded in MoinMoin does not prevent unsafe package actions.

In addition, this update fixes an error when processing hierarchical ACLs, which can be exploited to access restricted sub-pages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.1-3+lenny3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.2-1, and will migrate to the testing distribution (squeeze) shortly.

We recommend that you upgrade your moin package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny)
