The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: python2.4-moinmoin 1.5.2-1ubuntu2.5 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: python-moinmoin 1.5.8-5.1ubuntu2.3 Ubuntu 8.10: python-moinmoin 1.7.1-1ubuntu1.3 Ubuntu 9.04: python-moinmoin 1.8.2-2ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 9.10: python-moinmoin 1.8.4-1ubuntu1.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that several wiki actions and preference settings in MoinMoin were not protected from cross-site request forgery (CSRF). If an authenticated user were tricked into visiting a malicious website while logged into MoinMoin, a remote attacker could change the user's configuration or wiki content. (CVE-2010-0668, CVE-2010-0717) It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when processing user preferences. An attacker could enter malicious content which when viewed by a user, could render in unexpected ways. (CVE-2010-0669)
