NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream moodle package and not the moodle package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The question-bank functionality in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended capability requirements and save questions via a save_question action.
