DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Moodle, which can be

information, and conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection
attacks.

1) Certain information can be disclosed from scheduled backups and
via help.php.

2) Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being used
in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

3) Some unspecified input passed in doc/index.php and files/index.php
isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This may
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.6.1. Prior
versions may also be affected.

Other security related issues have also been reported.
