NVD Description

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

Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the moodle/site:readallmessages capability requirement and read arbitrary messages by using the "Recent conversations" feature with a modified parameter in a URL.
