CVE-2008-6549: Moinmo Moinmoin

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The password_checker function in config/multiconfig.py in MoinMoin 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.
