NVD Description

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

ikiwiki before 3.20161229 incorrectly called the CGI::FormBuilder->field method (similar to the CGI->param API that led to Bugzilla's CVE-2014-1572), which can be abused to lead to commit metadata forgery.
