Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59108
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-423-1 (moin1.3)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to moin1.3
announced via advisory USN-423-1.

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 debug reporting sanitizer which
could lead to a cross-site scripting attack. By tricking a user into
viewing a crafted MoinMoin URL, 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.
Only Ubuntu Breezy was vulnerable. (CVE-2007-0901)

An information leak was discovered in MoinMoin's debug reporting, which
could expose information about the versions of software running on the
host system. MoinMoin administrators can add show_traceback=0 to
their site configurations to disable debug tracebacks. (CVE-2007-0902)

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

Ubuntu 5.10:
moin 1.2.4-1ubuntu2.2
python-moinmoin 1.3.4-6ubuntu1.5.10

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
python-moinmoin 1.5.2-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 6.10:
python-moinmoin 1.5.3-1ubuntu1.2

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