Detail

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.
