Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4400)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to manipulate data.

repository/repository_ajax.php in Moodle 2.2.x before 2.2.5 and 2.3.x before 2.3.2 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended upload-size restrictions via a -1 value in the maxbytes field.


2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4408)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

course/reset.php in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.8, 2.2.x before 2.2.5, and 2.3.x before 2.3.2 checks an update capability instead of a reset capability, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a reset operation.


3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4402)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

webservice/lib.php in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.8, 2.2.x before 2.2.5, and 2.3.x before 2.3.2 does not properly restrict the use of web-service tokens, which allows remote authenticated users to run arbitrary external-service functions via a token intended for only one service.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4403)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

theme/yui_combo.php in Moodle 2.3.x before 2.3.2 does not properly construct error responses for the drag-and-drop script, which allows remote attackers to obtain the installation path by sending a request for a nonexistent resource and then reading the response.
