Secure testing team - Dec 2008 - Many security fixes in moodle 1.8.2.dfsg-2

Hello,

Please disregard my previous email about Moodle 1.8.2.dfsg-1. That package
accidentally introduced a new vulnerability.

We have fixed that one and have gone through all of the Moodle security
advisory to make sure that we have not missed any issues. It turns out we
were missing quite a few. So I have uploaded 1.8.2.dfsg-2 (to unstable)
which fixes all of them:

moodle (1.8.2.dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=high

Please let me know whether you want me to go ahead and request a freeze
exception or whether I should instead upload to the testing security queue.

Note that the upstream source has changed since we had to remove a non-free
library.

Cheers,
