Fedora 8 : moin-1.5.8-3.fc8 (2008-1486)

high Nessus Plugin ID 31063

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that moin allowed to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running moin using a crafted cookie with certain user IDs via a directory traversal flaw. This updated package fixes this issue.

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

Solution

Update the affected moin package.
