Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for mediawiki which fixed the following security problems: CVE-2008-5249, Debian BTS #508868 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki 1.13.0 through 1.13.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. CVE-2008-5250, Debian BTS #508869 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.6.11, 1.12.x before 1.12.2, and 1.13.x before 1.13.3, when Internet Explorer is used and uploads are enabled, or an SVG scripting browser is used and SVG uploads are enabled, allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by editing a wiki page. CVE-2008-5252, Debian BTS #508870 Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Special:Import feature in MediaWiki 1.3.0 through 1.6.10, 1.12.x before 1.12.2, and 1.13.x before 1.13.3 allows remote attackers to perform unspecified actions as authenticated users via unknown vectors. CVE-2008-5687 MediaWiki 1.11, and other versions before 1.13.3, does not properly protect against the download of backups of deleted images, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via requests for files in images/deleted/. CVE-2009-0737, Debian BTS #514547 Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the web-based installer (config/index.php) in MediaWiki 1.6 before 1.6.12, 1.12 before 1.12.4, and 1.13 before 1.13.4, when the installer is in active use, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in version 1:1.12.0-2lenny3~bpo40+1. For the squeeze and sid distributions all problems but CVE-2009-0737 (see #514547) have been fixed in version 1:1.13.3-1. Upgrade instructions -------------------- If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update. [1] <http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions> We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions of installed backports will be installed automatically: Package: * Pin: release a=etch-backports Pin-Priority: 200
