CVE-2008-6549  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 moin to version 1.6.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream moin package and not the moin package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The password_checker function in config/multiconfig.py in MoinMoin 1.6.1 uses the cracklib and python-crack features even though they are not thread-safe, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via unknown vectors.
