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.

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."

 -- Romain Beauxis <toots@rastageeks.org>  Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:44:09 -0500

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 (1:1.14.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Fixed issues in the installer:
   "A number of cross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerabilities were
    discovered in the web-based installer (config/index.php).
    These vulnerabilities all require a live installer once the installer
    has been used to install a wiki, it is deactivated.
 
    Note that cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be used to attack
    any website in the same cookie domain. So if you have an uninstalled
    copy of MediaWiki on the same site as an active web service, MediaWiki
    could be used to attack the active service."
