    Package : moodle
    Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE IDs : CVE-2009-4297 CVE-2009-4298 CVE-2009-4299 CVE-2009-4301
    CVE-2009-4302 CVE-2009-4303 CVE-2009-4305
    Debian Bugs : 559531


    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Moodle, an online
    course management system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2009-4297

    Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities have been discovered.

    CVE-2009-4298

    It has been discovered that the LAMS module is prone to the disclosure
    of user account information.

    CVE-2009-4299

    The Glossary module has an insufficient access control mechanism.

    CVE-2009-4301

    Moodle does not properly check permissions when the MNET service is
    enabled, which allows remote authenticated servers to execute arbitrary
    MNET functions.

    CVE-2009-4302

    The login/index_form.html page links to an HTTP page instead of using an
    SSL secured connection.

    CVE-2009-4303

    Moodle stores sensitive data in backup files, which might make it
    possible for attackers to obtain them.

    CVE-2009-4305

    It has been discovered that the SCORM module is prone to an SQL
    injection.

    Additionally, an SQL injection in the update_record function, a problem
    with symbolic links and a verification problem with Glossary, database
    and forum ratings have been fixed.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.8.2.dfsg-3+lenny3.

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), there are no fixed packages
    available and it is too hard to backport many of the fixes. Therefore,
    we recommend to upgrade to the lenny version.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.2.dfsg-6.


    We recommend that you upgrade your moodle packages.
