Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-3363)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Zend_XmlRpc in Zend Framework 1.x before 1.11.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.0 does not properly handle SimpleXMLElement classes, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or create TCP connections via an external entity reference in a DOCTYPE element in an XML-RPC request, aka an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1830)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
user/view.php in Moodle through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 does not enforce the forceloginforprofiles setting, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive course-profile information by leveraging the guest role, as demonstrated by a Google search.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1831)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
lib/setuplib.php in Moodle through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an invalid request, which reveals the absolute path in an exception message.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1832)
The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.
repository/webdav/lib.php in Moodle 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 includes the WebDAV password in the configuration form, which allows remote authenticated administrators to obtain sensitive information by configuring an instance.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1833)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing data passed via a crafted filename. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1834)
The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to manipulate data.
notes/edit.php in Moodle 1.9.x through 1.9.19, 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 allows remote authenticated users to reassign notes via a modified (1) userid or (2) courseid field.
7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1835)
The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.
Moodle 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to obtain sensitive information from the external repositories of arbitrary users by leveraging the login_as feature.
8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1836)
The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.
Moodle 2.x through 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.2 does not properly manage privileges for WebDAV repositories, which allows remote authenticated users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary site-wide repositories by leveraging certain read access.
