Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-01-23 15:00:51 UTC

A security flaw was found in the way Moodle, a course management system, performed capability checks in certain situations. Users without appropriate capability were able to set a custom outcome they had created as a standard site-wide capability when editing that outcome.

This issue did NOT affect the versions of the moodle package, as shipped with Fedora release of 16, 17, 18, and Fedora EPEL 6 (moodle package versions for those releases are already updated).
