Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in
action/AttachFile.py in MoinMoin 1.8.2 and earlier allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) an AttachFile
sub-action in the error_msg function or (2) multiple vectors related
to package file errors in the upload_form function, different vectors
than CVE-2009-0260.

Comment 1 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2009-05-03 19:00:31 UTC
This has already been fixed since 20090422 in F-11 and devel and since 20090420 in F-10 and F-9, i.e. before the new CVE number even existed. The exact patch in the CVE report is here in the Fedora CVS: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/moin/F-11/001_CVE-2008-0781_attach_file_XSS.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup

What happened here was that I performed a sort-of security patch audit for the stable Fedora releases and Rawhide using CVE reports and Debian patches. I noticed the fix for CVE-2008-0781 had been dropped in moin 1.6 and later for some reason. I notified the upstream developers who then released the fix again for 1.7 and 1.8.

Thus I'm closing this bug. If something in this CVE report hasn't been fixed after all, feel free to reopen the report.
