DESCRIPTION:
A weaknesses and some security issues have been reported in Moodle,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions and by malicious people to disclose certain system
information and bypass certain security restrictions.

1) The application does not properly restrict access to certain
actions and can be exploited to show and hide topics and setting the
current topic.

Successful exploitation of this security issue requires course
editing capabilities.

This security issue is reported in versions 2.3 through 2.3.1+ and
2.2 through 2.2.4+.

2) The application does not verify the publication state of a blog
when handling embedded files and can be exploited to access embedded
files of an unpublished blog.

3) An error due to the application not properly verifying a certain
permission can be exploited to reset a course by directly accessing
the reset page.

4) The application does not properly restrict access to certain
functions when using a web service token linked to certain external
services and can be exploited to access otherwise restricted
functionality.

The security issues #2 through #4 are reported in versions 2.3
through 2.3.1+, 2.2 through 2.2.4+, and 2.1 through 2.1.7+.

5) The application displays the full installation path within an
error message when handling malformed requests in
theme/yui_combo.php.

This weakness is reported in versions 2.3 through 2.3.1+.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.8, 2.2.5, or 2.3.2.
