Debian DSA-4767-1 : mediawiki - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 140811

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Multiple security issues were discovered in MediaWiki, a website engine for collaborative work: SpecialUserRights could leak whether a user existed or not, multiple code paths lacked HTML sanitisation allowing for cross-site scripting and TOTP validation applied insufficient rate limiting against brute force attempts.

Solution

Upgrade the mediawiki packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.31.10-1~deb10u1.
