Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59145
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-458-1 (moin)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to moin
announced via advisory USN-458-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

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

Details follow:

A flaw was discovered in MoinMoin's error reporting when using the
AttachFile action. 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. (CVE-2007-2423)

Flaws were discovered in MoinMoin's ACL handling for calendars and
includes. Unauthorized users would be able to read pages that would
otherwise be unavailable to them.

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

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
python2.4-moinmoin 1.5.2-1ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 6.10:
python2.4-moinmoin 1.5.3-1ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 7.04:
python-moinmoin 1.5.3-1.1ubuntu3.1

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