    Package : moin
    Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-1482
    Debian Bug : 526594


    It was discovered that the AttachFile action in moin, a python clone of WikiWiki, is prone to cross-site scripting attacks when renaming
    attachements or performing other sub-actions.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.7.1-3+lenny2.

    The oldstable distribution (etch) is not vulnerable.

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


    We recommend that you upgrade your moin packages.


    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
