Debian 5.0: DSA-2083-1 Critical: Moin Cross-Site Scripting Risk

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.
