    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1761-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde April 3rd, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : moodle
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitization
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-1171
    Debian Bug : 522116


    Christian J. Eibl discovered that the TeX filter of Moodle, a web-based
    course management system, doesn't check user input for certain TeX commands which allows an attacker to include and display the content of arbitrary system files.

    Note that this doesn't affect installations that only use the mimetex environment.

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6.3-2+etch3.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.8.2.dfsg-3+lenny2.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.8.2.dfsg-5.


    We recommend that you upgrade your moodle packages.
