    Package : moin
    Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2010-0828
    Debian Bugs : 575995


    Jamie Strandboge discovered that moin, a python clone of WikiWiki, does
    not sufficiently sanitize the page name in "Despam" action, allowing remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

    In addition, this update fixes a minor issue in the "textcha" protection, it could be trivially bypassed by blanking the "textcha-question" and "textcha-answer"
    form fields.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.7.1-3+lenny4.

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

    We recommend that you upgrade your moin package.

    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
    will install corrected packages

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