CVE-2008-6549

Publication date 30 March 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The password_checker function in config/multiconfig.py in MoinMoin 1.6.1 uses the cracklib and python-crack features even though they are not thread-safe, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via unknown vectors.
