Package        : moin
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitization
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
Debian bug     : 584809
CVE ID         : CVE-2010-2487

It was discovered that moin, a python clone of WikiWiki, does not sufficiently
sanitize parameters when passing them to the add_msg function. This allows a
remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks for example
via the template parameter.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.7.1-3+lenny5.

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

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.9.3-1.
