Bug 135883 – www-apps/mediawiki-1.6.x (x<7) : XSS vuln

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) 2006-06-07 03:12:03 UTC]

crap, another XSS issue in the latest mediawiki. (~arched)

Please update to the 1.6.7 version, thanks in advance.

1.4 branch (stable) seems unaffected, but i can't confirm since the vuln is "unspecified" from Secunia SA 20458

If we quote their own text,

"The vulnerability has been reported in versions 1.6.0 through 1.6.6."

Anytest we could do to verify this ?

I will create the new ebuild within the next 8 hours.

Interesting enough, it works again with a simple version bump... problem is I cannot find an MD5 from their site to confirm it is the right one I downloaded. I don't know if this something we should complain about? 

Anyway 1.6.7 is in the world of Gentoo. I am quite sure it is the right one.

thanks again for the fastness, it's really great :) . I let your team check if everything is right.

For some reason, I installed the right tar ball, but my overlay got the webpage linking to it.  Commited and it should be fixed with the right file.
