CVE IDs : CVE-2009-0500 CVE-2009-0502 CVE-2008-5153
Debian Bug : 514284
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Moodle, an online
course management system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2009-0500
It was discovered that the information stored in the log tables
was not properly sanitized, which could allow attackers to inject
arbitrary web code.
CVE-2009-0502
It was discovered that certain input via the "Login as" function
was not properly sanitised leading to the injection of arbitrary
web script.
CVE-2008-5153
Dmitry E. Oboukhov discovered that the SpellCheker plugin creates
temporary files insecurely, allowing a denial of service attack.
Since the plugin was unused, it is removed in this update.
For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.3-2+etch2.
For the testing (lenny) distribution these problems have been fixed in
version 1.8.2.dfsg-3+lenny1.
For the unstable (sid) distribution these problems have been fixed in
version 1.8.2.dfsg-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your moodle package.
