in the LTI module could allow any enrolled user to search the list of
registered tools (CVE-2015-0211).

page was displayed to the manager unescaped and could be used for XSS attack
(CVE-2015-0212).

check potentially allowing cross-site request forgery (CVE-2015-0213).

messaging-related functions such as people search even if messaging is
disabled on the site (CVE-2015-0214).

information about calendar events which user did not have enough permissions
to see (CVE-2015-0215).

In Moodle before 2.6.7, non-optimal regular expression in the multimedia
filter could be exploited to create extra server load or make particular page

even when not authenticated through Shibboleth (CVE-2015-0218).
