Description Jean-François Brunette (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-04 08:24:03 UTC
I know that version 1.3.10 is already in portage, but there is also the 1.3.9 version

----------------------
Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in MediaWiki, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

Successful exploitation requires user to be authenticated.

Solution:
Update to version 1.3.10.
