Debian DLA-717-1 : moin security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 95262

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities were discovered in moin, a Python clone of WikiWiki. A remote attacker can conduct cross-site scripting attacks via the GUI editor's attachment dialogue (CVE-2016-7146) and the GUI editor's link dialogue (CVE-2016-9119).

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.4-8+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your moin packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected python-moinmoin package.
