    Summary: MoinMoin Denial of Service vulnerability via password_checker function

    Details: The password_checker function in `config/multiconfig.py` in MoinMoin prior to version 1.6.1 uses the cracklib and python-crack features even though they are not thread-safe, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via unknown vectors.
