" Why is Unix file permissions an endless topic!"
Because nobody takes the time to understand them. Which is sad, because it's actually not that complicated or going to take much time to inwardly digest.

Absolutely *do not* give write permissions to the web server on a production system for the Moodle program files. There is a class of PHP "worms" that can rewrite your PHP files if they get in and have permissions.
It is, however, acceptable on a local test/development server where you might want to make use of the plugin installation and upgrades. Just to be clear I would definitely not set up a live Moodle site such that installing or updating plugins through the admin interface was allowed. A very bad idea.

The general rule is to always give the minimum permissions to get the job done.
Moodle in English -> Security and privacy -> Curl vulnerability -> Re: Curl vulnerability

They're releasing libcurl (and curl) on the 11th. It'll then need to find its way into a PHP build for your favorite distro.
They're being very coy about what the problem is. The word is that it's something nasty.

Is this anything for Moodle (users) to worry about...

I'm assuming, "keep on top of PHP updates and make sure you are running a supported version (of PHP)" will be the answer.

I've never seen Sakai and have never heard of Sakora-CSV. So...
What would this upload do with the CSV data in Moodle? What problem is this fixing?
