mediawiki (1:1.15.4-1) unstable; urgency=high
[ Jonathan Wiltshire ]
* New upstream security release (closes: #585918).
* CVE-2010-1647:
Fix a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability which allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) strings that are processed as script by
Internet Explorer.
* CVE-2010-1648:
Fix a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the login interface
which allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for
requests that (1) create accounts or (2) reset passwords, related to the
Special:Userlogin form.
[ Romain Beauxis ]
* Put debian's package version in declared version.
Should help sysadmins to keep track of installed
versions, in particular with regard to security
updates.
* Added Jonathan Wiltshire to uploaders.
* Do not clan math dir if it does not exist (for instance
when running clean from SVN).
mediawiki (1:1.15.3-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release.
* Fixes security issue:
"MediaWiki was found to be vulnerable to login CSRF. An attacker who
controls a user account on the target wiki can force the victim to log
in as the attacker, via a script on an external website. If the wiki is
configured to allow user scripts, say with "$wgAllowUserJs = true" in
LocalSettings.php, then the attacker can proceed to mount a
phishing-style attack against the victim to obtain their password."
mediawiki (1:1.15.2-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release.
* Fixes security issue:
"Two security issues were discovered:
A CSS validation issue was discovered which allows editors to display
external images in wiki pages. This is a privacy concern on public
wikis, since a malicious user may link to an image on a server they
control, which would allow that attacker to gather IP addresses and
other information from users of the public wiki. All sites running
publicly-editable MediaWiki installations are advised to upgrade. All
versions of MediaWiki (prior to this one) are affected.
A data leakage vulnerability was discovered in thumb.php which affects
wikis which restrict access to private files using img_auth.php, or
some similar scheme. All versions of MediaWiki since 1.5 are affected."
* Updated standards.
* Removed section about upgrading from mediawiki1.x packages
in README.Debian since they do not exist in any supported distribution
anymore.
* Switched php5-gd and imagemagick in Suggests. Closes: #542008
* Backported patch from revision 51083 to fix a bug with invalid titles.
Closes: #537134
* Backported patch from revision 61090 to add a unique guid per RSS
feed element.
Closes: #383130
* Refreshed patches.

mediawiki (1:1.15.1-1ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low
* SECURITY UPDATE: A CSRF vulnerability was discovered in our login
interface. Although regular logins are protected as of 1.15.3, it was
discovered that the account creation and password reset features were not
protected from CSRF. This could lead to unauthorised access to private
wikis. (LP: #586773)

allows attackers to construct CSS strings which are treated as safe by
previous versions of MediaWiki, but are decoded to unsafe strings by
Internet Explorer. (LP: #586773)
