Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-03-25 13:37:59 UTC

A server path information disclosure flaw was found in the way Moodle, a course management system, issued certain exceptions (server system paths were provided in selected exception messages). A remote attacker (logged in as Moodle guest) could use this flaw to obtain sensitive information.

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2013-03-25 13:53:13 UTC

This issue affects the version of moodle package, as shipped with Fedora release of 18. Please schedule an update.

--

This issue (probably [*]) affects the versions of the moodle package, as shipped with Fedora release of 17 and Fedora EPEL-6.

[*] Probably because comparison of proposed upstream patch didn't conclude that patch would be applicable to those versions. But [1] advisory mentions also those versions as affected.

--

This issue did NOT affect the version of the moodle package, as shipped with Fedora EPEL-5.
