Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
MoinMoin contains a bug allowing anonymous users to bypass ACLs (Access |
19 |
Control Lists) and carry out operations that should be limited to |
20 |
authorized users. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
MoinMoin is a Python clone of WikiWiki, based on PikiPiki. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
MoinMoin contains two unspecified bugs, one allowing anonymous users |
39 |
elevated access when not using ACLs, and the other in the ACL handling |
40 |
in the PageEditor. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
Restrictions on anonymous users were not properly enforced. This could |
46 |
lead to unauthorized users gaining administrative access to functions |
47 |
such as "revert" and "delete". Sites are vulnerable whether or not they |
48 |
are using ACLs. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All users should upgrade to the latest available version of MoinMoin, |
59 |
as follows: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge sync |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-ww/moinmoin-1.2.3" |
64 |
# emerge ">=net-ww/moinmoin-1.2.3" |
65 |
