Topic:	Email could be changed in profile without confirmation
Severity:	Major
Versions affected:	< 1.8.6, <1.9.2
Reported by:	multiple external reports
Issue no.:	MDL-13811
Solution:	upgrade to 1.9.2 or 1.8.6. Patch is provided at MDL-13811

Description:

In previous versions of Moodle, a user who is already authenticated could change their own email address without having to prove they could access that new email account. In Moodle 1.8.6 and 1.9.2 a new setting called emailchangeconfirmation (default: on) now forces all users on the site to go through a confirmation process whenever they want to change their email account. Moodle 1.6.x and 1.7.x sites have not had this new feature added yet - we highly recommend upgrading to 1.9.x if this concerns you.

Solution:	upgrade to 1.9.2 or any recent nightly; upgrade needed only if custom code uses Events API

Description:

During internal review it was discovered that the new Events framework might be vulnerable to sql attacks. This code is not currently used within Moodle core, but sites 3rd party modifications could be vulnerable. If you have any code using Events API please read the details in http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-9983 on how to update your code to comply with this change. Please note that the changes in 1.9.2 are not backwards compatible.

Severity:	Major
Versions affected:	1.9.0, 1.9.1
Reported by:	internal
Issue no.:	MDL-15079
Solution:	upgrade to 1.9.2 or any recent nightly or use patch http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/group/members.php?r1=1.3.2.4&r2=1.3.2.5

Description:

We have discovered that systems running on MSSQL or Oracle databases are vulnerable to non-persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability was caused by incorrect escaping when using database engines which require sybase style quoting (MSSQL and Orcale Only).

Topic:	Potential webroot disclosures warning
Severity:	Minor
Versions affected:	all version
Reported by:	Richard Brain of ProCheckUp Ltd. (www.procheckup.com)
Issue no.:	MDL-15413
Solution:	make sure display_errors is disabled in PHP configuration; 1.8.6 and 1.9.2 contains new warning for administrators

Description:

ProCheckup discovered that several scripts display errors if display_errors enabled in PHP configuration. This problem will be fully fixed in later Moodle versions because it requires modification of many files and review of all code from upstream, in the meantime please make sure you server is configured properly - see http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors

We would like to thank them for informing us in a responsible manner and coordinating the disclosure of security advisories.
