Fedora 19 : mediawiki-1.21.2-1.fc19 (2013-15984)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 70028

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- SECURITY: Fix extension detection with 2 .'s

- SECURITY: Support for the 'gettoken' parameter to action=block and action=unblock, deprecated since 1.20, has been removed.

- SECURITY: Sanitize ResourceLoader exception messages

- Purge upstream caches when deleting file assets.

- Unit test suite now runs the AutoLoader tests. Also fixed the autoloading entry for the PageORMTableForTesting class though it had no impact.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mediawiki package.
