Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-03-25 13:43:31 UTC

An information disclosure flaw was found in the way Moodle, a course management system, protected access to personal repository content. A remote attacker (with Moodle administrator privilege being able to log in as another user) could use this flaw to obtain access to the content of external repositories of the impersonated user.

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2013-03-25 14:01:27 UTC

This issue affects the version of the 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 by comparison of aforementioned upstream patch [2] with underlying source code it's not clearly visible that patch would be (directly) applicable to those versions too. But upstream notification at [1] lists also those versions as vulnerable.

--

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