mahara - several vulnerabilities

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in mahara, an electronic portfolio,
weblog, and resume builder. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

• CVE-2009-3298
  Ruslan Kabalin discovered a issue with resetting passwords, which could
  lead to a privilege escalation of an institutional administrator
  account.
• CVE-2009-3299
  Sven Vetsch discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability via the
  resume fields.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.4-4+lenny4.

The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain mahara.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your mahara packages.
