Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67686
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 12 FEDORA-2010-6335 (mediawiki)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to mediawiki
announced via advisory FEDORA-2010-6335.

Update Information:

This is a security and bugfix release of MediaWiki 1.15.3.
Three security issues are fixed in this update:
A CSS validation issue was discovered which
allows editors to display external images in wiki pages.
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.

MediaWiki was found to be vulnerable to login CSRF. The upstream
authors recommend that all public wikis should be upgraded if
possible. The fix includes a breaking change to the API login
action. Any clients using it will need to be updated.

ChangeLog:

* Wed Apr 7 2010 Axel Thimm - 1.15.3-53
- Update to 1.15.3 (Fixes login CSRF vulnerability).
* Wed Mar 31 2010 Axel Thimm - 1.15.2-51
- Update to 1.15.2 (Fixes CSS validation issue and data leakage
vulnerability).
