Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated mediawiki packages fix security vulnerabilies :

In MediaWiki before 1.23.7, a missing CSRF check could allow reflected XSS on wikis that allow raw HTML (CVE-2014-9276).

MediaWiki's mangling, in MediaWiki before 1.23.7, could allow an article editor to inject code into API consumers that blindly unserialize PHP representations of the page from the API (CVE-2014-9277).

This update provides MediaWiki 1.23.7, which fixes these security issues and other bugs.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
