Subject: [USN-658-1] Moodle vulnerability

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-658-1           October 23, 2008
moodle vulnerability
CVE-2008-1502, CVE-2008-1502
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.10:
  moodle                          1.8.2-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  moodle                          1.8.2-1ubuntu4.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Lukasz Pilorz discovered that the HTML filtering used in Moodle was not
strict enough.  A remote attacker could send malicious requests to Moodle
and execute arbitrary code as the web server user.
