Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59105
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-421-1 (moin1.3)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to moin1.3
announced via advisory USN-421-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

A flaw was discovered in MoinMoin's page name sanitizer which could lead
to a cross-site scripting attack. By tricking a user into viewing a
crafted MoinMoin page, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript as
the current MoinMoin user, possibly exposing the user's authentication
information for the domain where MoinMoin was hosted.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
moin 1.2.4-1ubuntu2.1
python2.3-moinmoin 1.3.4-6ubuntu1.1
python2.4-moinmoin 1.3.4-6ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
python2.4-moinmoin 1.5.2-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
python2.4-moinmoin 1.5.3-1ubuntu1.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
