How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 moin to version 1.7.1-1 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

MoinMoin 1.6.2 and 1.7 does not properly enforce ACL checks when acl_hierarchic is set to True, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1937.
