Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in MoinMoin.

Software Description: - moin: Collaborative hypertext environment

Details:

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize certain inputs, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 16.10:
python-moinmoin 1.9.8-1ubuntu1.16.10.1

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
python-moinmoin 1.9.8-1ubuntu1.16.04.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
python-moinmoin 1.9.7-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python-moinmoin 1.9.3-1ubuntu2.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
