========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1604-1 October 11, 2012 moin vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.04 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 input, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. 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. (CVE-2011-1058) It was discovered that MoinMoin incorrectly handled group names that contain virtual group names such as "All", "Known" or "Trusted". This could result in a remote user having incorrect permissions. (CVE-2012-4404) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: python-moinmoin 1.9.3-1ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 11.10: python-moinmoin 1.9.3-1ubuntu1.11.10.1 Ubuntu 11.04: python-moinmoin 1.9.3-1ubuntu1.11.04.1 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: python-moinmoin 1.9.2-2ubuntu3.2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
