+ <description>
+ <p>
+ MoinMoin contains a bug in the code handling administrative group ACLs.
+ A user created with the same name as an administrative group gains the
+ privileges of the administrative group.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ If an administrative group called AdminGroup existed an attacker could
+ create a user called AdminGroup and gain the privileges of the group
+ AdminGroup. This could lead to unauthorized users gaining
+ administrative access.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ For every administrative group with special privileges create a user
+ with the same name as the group.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users should upgrade to the latest available version of MoinMoin,
+ as follows:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=www-apps/moinmoin-1.2.2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=www-apps/moinmoin-1.2.2"</code>
+ </resolution>
