Software Description: - moin: Collaborative hypertext environment Details: It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when processing AnyWikiDraw and TWikiDraw actions. A remote attacker with write access could exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code with the priviliges of the web server (user 'www-data'). It was discovered that MoinMoin also did not properly sanitize its input when processing the AttachFile action. A remote attacker could exploit this to overwrite files via directory traversal.
