This may allow certain users to have additional permissions (privilege escalation) or lack expected permissions. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.3-1+squeeze2. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.4-8. We recommend that you upgrade your moin packages.
