CVE-2012-0792: Infoleak
A number of flaws have been fixed in new upstream Moodle 2.2.1 [1], 2.1.4 [2], 2.0.7 [3], and 1.9.16 [4] releases. These do not have CVEs assigned (request pending), and since Fedora/EPEL will rebase to the latest versions of each branch, I'm summarizing them all here rather than creating a number of separate bugs.
