| Description: | The remote host is missing an update to moin
announced via advisory USN-774-1.
Details follow:
It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when
attaching files, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into
viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker
could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data,
within the same domain.
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.10:
python-moinmoin 1.7.1-1ubuntu1.2
Ubuntu 9.04:
python-moinmoin 1.8.2-2ubuntu2.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
