MGASA-2013-0280 - Updated moodle package fixes multiple security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 19 Sep 2013
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2013-0280.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 3
CVE: CVE-2013-4313,
     CVE-2013-4341

Description:
Updated moodle package fixes security vulnerabilities:

Null characters were allowed in query strings in Moodle before 2.4.6, which
caused sql statements to terminate and fail, potentially allowing sql
injection in Moodle's SQL Server driver (CVE-2013-4313).

Links to external blogs were not being adequately cleaned in Moodle before
2.4.6, potentially allowing for XSS attacks (CVE-2013-4341).
