Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2012-02-26 22:15:00 UTC
CVE-2011-4203 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-4203):
  CRLF injection vulnerability in calendar/set.php in the Calendar component
  in Moodle 1.9.x before 1.9.15, 2.0.x before 2.0.6, 2.1.x before 2.1.3, and
  2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct
  HTTP response splitting attacks via vectors involving the url variable.


I do not believe we are affected for any < 2.2 slots. But I was unable to find information for which version of 2.2 was fixed. The blog at [1] says that this is issue MDL-24808. Help? Thanks.

The fix should be in all current moodle ebuilds.  1.9.16, 2.0.7 and 2.2.1 fixed the issue.  They were all released at the same time and I added the ebuilds to the tree at the same time.
