Description:
Updated moodle package fixes security vulnerabilities:

In Moodle before 2.6.7, absence of a capability check in AJAX backend script
in the LTI module could allow any enrolled user to search the list of
registered tools (CVE-2015-0211).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, the course summary on course request pending approval
page was displayed to the manager unescaped and could be used for XSS attack
(CVE-2015-0212).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, two files in the Glossary module lacked a session key
check potentially allowing cross-site request forgery (CVE-2015-0213).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, through web-services it was possible to access
messaging-related functions such as people search even if messaging is
disabled on the site (CVE-2015-0214).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, through web-services it was possible to get
information about calendar events which user did not have enough permissions
to see (CVE-2015-0215).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, non-optimal regular expression in the multimedia
filter could be exploited to create extra server load or make particular page
unavailable, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2015-0217).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, it was possible to forge a request to logout users
even when not authenticated through Shibboleth (CVE-2015-0218).
